The popular Indian chef Madhur Jaffrey states that dal simply means split beans. Therefore there are endless variations of dal. This is a rather simple recipe with a touch of garam masala curry. If you cannot find a curry blend, make your own with a medley of cumin, mustard, coriander to taste.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lentil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala, add more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon mustard, optional
  • ½ teaspoon coriander, ground, optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Preparation Instructions

Bring the lentils and water up to a boil. Reduce to medium-low, add the garlic and simmer for about 30-45 minutes until the lentils are tender.

In the final 10-15 minutes of cooking, stir in the spices and salt.
