Cumin Seeds1 tsp
Ghee2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Rinse the gongura (sorrel leaves) in several changes of water till it runs clear, then pressure-cook with turmeric, salt and plenty of water until completely soft.
2
Whisk the cooked dal till smooth-ish and keep it loose — it thickens as it sits.
3
Heat ghee in a small pan and crackle cumin with a pinch of asafoetida; add the onions and fry till golden.
4
Add the yellow lentils (toor dal) to the pan and cook till jammy, then tip everything into the dal and simmer ten minutes so the flavours marry.
5
Finish with a second tiny tadka — ghee, red chili powder, poured sizzling over the top — and a shower of cilantro.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
