Garam Masala1/2 tsp
Saltto taste
Onion1, finely chopped
Tomato2, chopped
Ginger2-inch piece
Green Chili2
Cumin Seeds1 tsp
Ghee2 tbsp
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

1
Cook the urad dal in a generous amount of water with turmeric and salt, skimming the foam, until each grain surrenders.
2
Mash the dal lightly against the side of the pot; leave some texture.
3
For the tadka, bloom cumin in ghee with dried red chilies until they swell and darken.
4
Add the ginger to the pan and cook till jammy, then tip everything into the dal and simmer ten minutes so the flavours marry.
5
Taste for salt and sourness; a squeeze of lemon at the end makes the dal taste of itself, only louder.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
