Urad and chana dal cooked together, the hara-dal style of Himachal homes. Humble dal, done properly, beats most fancy curries. Pour over rice or dunk rotis straight into the bowl.

Ghee3 tbsp

Instructions

1
Wash the urad dal, soak 30 minutes if you have time, then boil with turmeric and a drop of oil till it turns creamy.
2
Mash the dal lightly against the side of the pot; leave some texture.
3
Heat ghee in a small pan and crackle cumin with a pinch of asafoetida; add the onions and fry till golden.
4
Fry tomato with the chickpeas until it collapses into the fat, then pour the whole thing over the simmering dal.
5
Taste for salt and sourness; a squeeze of lemon at the end makes the dal taste of itself, only louder.
