3. In a bowl, proportion your spices to taste and set aside. I usually lead with turmeric and cumin as 11/2tsp ea followed by the rest at 1/4 to 1/2 tsp ea. You could just use a curry powder if you want. Proportion to taste. I used a curry powder (big pile on white cutting board) in the below photo along with some other spices. I did use a measuring spoon because it makes cool little piles)
4. Heat ghee or oil in a pot then saute the onion until brown over medium high heat
5. Add garlic and ginger to pot then saute for another 1 minutes or so
6. Add diced tomato and saute for another 2 minutes or so
7. Add spices and mix into the masala and let them cook for 1 minute or so
8. Add lentils and mix until coated in spices
9. Add water, start with 2 cups in and then bring to boil then turn heat down and simmer covered for 20 to 30 minutes. Make sure to check it and give it a stir every so often. Add additional water as needed to form your desired consistency. (Blury photo)
10. Chop the coriander then add to the pot. Reserve some leaves to add to each serving. Below photo was taken before I added some coriander to my bowl
11. You can do the same thing with chickpeas (channa dahl) just follow direction for preparing/cooking dried chickpeas or use canned version. I prefer the dried pulses.
12. You can also omit the pulse and just add chicken and potato to make a chicken curry dish. I guess that is another receipe…lol
