Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated or minced
• 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional, adjust to taste)
• 1 tomato, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed lentils and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim off any foam that rises to the top. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until lentils are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally.
2. In a separate skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil or ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook for about 1 minute, or until they start to splutter.
3. Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili (if using). Sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
5. Add chopped tomato to the skillet and cook until tomatoes are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Add ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, and chili powder to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute to toast the spices.
7. Pour the cooked lentils (dal) into the skillet with the spice mixture. Stir well to combine.
8. Season with salt to taste. If the dal is too thick, add a little water to achieve your desired consistency.
9. Simmer the dal for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
10. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with rice or naan. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the dal, if desired.

Enjoy your comforting and nutritious dal!
