Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 c Masoor dal (red lentils)
Water to cover
2 ts Turmeric
1 t Salt
4 tb Canola oil
6 ea Cloves garlic
4 ea Jalapeno peppers
2 ts Garam masala
2 tb Cumin seeds
1/2 ts Salt
Additional salt to taste

Sort and wash the dal until the water runs clear.
Place the dal in a soup pot and add water to cover by
about 2 inches. Add the turmeric and 1 teaspoon of
salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for
about 30 minutes, until the dal is soft and beginning
to fall apart. Add more water if the dal is too thick.

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Mince the garlic,
coarsely chop the jalapenos (remove the seeds if you
don’t want the dal to be very hot). Add the garlic and
jalapenos to the oil, along with the cumin seeds,
garam masala and salt. Saute for a few minutes, until
the garlic begins to brown. Add this mixture to the
dal. Mix well (you may need to add a little dal to
the frying pan and pour this back into the pot to get
all the spices out of the pan). Simmer for another 20
minutes or so to blend all the flavors well. Adjust
salt, if desired.

Top with chopped cilantro for garnish if desired.
Serve hot, with bread as a light main course, or
incorporate into a full Indian dinner.
