Sindhi seyal dal heavy on garlic and tomato, the Sunday dal of Ulhasnagar kitchens. Humble dal, done properly, beats most fancy curries. Serve with steamed rice and a spoon of ghee.

Prep 11 min Cook 35 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
Garam Masala1/2 tsp
Saltto taste
Onion1, finely chopped
Tomato3, chopped
Garlic6 cloves
Green Chili1-2, slit
Cumin Seeds1 tsp
Ghee2 tbsp
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Yellow Lentils (Toor Dal)1 cup, rinsed
Dried Red Chilies1 tsp

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

1
Wash the yellow lentils (toor 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
Warm the ghee, drop in cumin and mustard seeds if using, and let them pop before the onions go in.
4
Add the tomato 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

A whisk at the end makes restaurant-smooth dal in ten seconds.
