Instructions

1. 1

   Warm the oil in a kadhai until it ripples, then crackle the whole spices for a few seconds.

2. 2

   Add the Lentils and brown it well, resisting the urge to stir too often — colour is flavour.

3. 3

   Stir in Ghee and Garlic, softening them into the spiced oil.

4. 4

   Season, add a splash of water, and simmer covered until the Lentils is tender and the sauce has thickened.

5. 5

   Uncover and raise the heat for the last two minutes to reduce the masala until it clings to the Lentils.

6. 6

   Rest for five minutes off the heat, garnish with coriander, and serve with bread or rice.
