     Title: Dal
Categories: Indian
     Yield: 3 Servings

   1/2 c  Red lentils; they turn
          - yellow when cooked
 1 1/2 c  Water
     1 sm Onion
     2 cl Garlic
     1    Ginger thumb (1/2")
     1 ts Salt; approximate
   1/4 ts Cumin
   1/2 ts Turmeric
   1/2 ts Coriander
     1    Bay leaf
     2 lg Tomatoes (1 c); diced
          Chili or pepper; to taste
          Oil; for frying

MMMMM----------------------TADKA, (OPTIONAL---------------------------
   1/2 ts Cumin seeds
   1/2 ts Pepper; coarsely ground
     1 cl Garlic
   1/2 ts Mustard seeds

 Boil the lentils like rice, but with three times as much water as
 lentils (by volume).

 Cut the onion, garlic, and ginger into small pieces.

 Mash the garlic and ginger up with a mortar and pestle, if available.

 Fry the onion until light brown, then add the garlic and ginger paste.

 Fry for a bit longer, then add the tomatoes and all spices except for
 the tadka ones

 After everything is cooked well (~20 minutes), mix with the lentils
 (the lentils should soak up all the water; if not, figure out what
 you're going to do...).

 For the (optional) tadka, heat oil very hot in a pot with a lid, then
 tilt the pot so the oil collects on one side, add the tadka spices
 (cut the garlic clove beforehand), quickly close the lid, and wait
 until the seeds stop sputtering. The sputtered seeds and oil can then
 be mixed together with the rest of the dal.

 Serve with rice or chapati or whatever.
