 Dal is what chicken soup is in the west - comforting food. Dals or lentils, peas and beans are cooked practically daily in almost every Indian home, vegetarian or not. Each region has its own favorites and cooking methods. Some are cooked with garlic and ginger, in addition to the staple spices of turmeric, cumin and coriander. Dals can range from spicy-sweet to scorching hot, soup like or like creamed thick soup or dry like a pilaf. Lentils form an important part of any Indian meal and you can make it an important part of your diet. It is good for the environment too as it has a small carbon footprint unlike other proteins. They are a tasty way to get your protein for the day. India has a variety of lentils cooked different spices in different ways in different parts of India and this means you can enjoy a different dal everyday!
In Indian cooking lentils and beans make up the dal family. We carry many of these varieties in our online store. Cook up one of the following or mix two and cook together: red lentils (masoor dal), yellow split peas, adzuki beans, red beans, chana dal, or hulled and split mung beans (moong dal).

Cooking Dal - How to cook Indian dal
Step 1
Lentils can have some organic material mixed in so they need to be picked through. There may be small stones which need to be removed. Then put them in a pot and wash them. Strain them in a strainer.
Add the dal to a large pot and water. The texture of the dal depends on the water to dal ratio. Obviously, more water produces a thinner dal, less a thicker dal. A good rule is 4 or 5 cups for every cup of dry dal.
Add salt, turmeric and ginger paste.
Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and skim off any foam that appears on the surface.
As the dal cooks, feel free to add water if it becomes too thick.
When the lentils are done to your liking reduce heat to low/warm.
Stir in some chopped spinach or veggies like carrots, potato zucchini. (optional) Make the seasonings or masala.
Step2
In a separate skillet, heat up some oil. Make sure there is enough oil in the pan to get a nice fry out of the spices (you don't want them to scorch).
To the hot oil add some or all of the following spices: cumin or mustard seeds, ground coriander, ground cumin, amchoor, fresh/frozen curry leaves, cayenne, and hing or asafetida. Also consider adding chopped garlic, seeded and chopped hot pepper and fresh/frozen curry leaves.
When the spices begin to brown and become aromatic, remove from heat.
Step 3
Stir the masala or seasonings into the lentils. Add salt to taste
garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or coriander leaves - which is an option.
Serve with rice or bread.

Chinese Five Spice!) We have this spice blend in our store
Ingredients:
1 1/2 C red lentils
3 1/2 C water
6 green hot chilies minced
1/4 t turmeric, or more to taste
1 1/2 t salt
4 T ghee, butter or vegetable oil

Method:
There are three basic steps to this recipe: cooking the lentils in water,
making a tomato/onion/ginger mush, and making a spiced oil.
1. Rinse lentils well, add water, serrano chilies, turmeric and salt.
Bring carefully to boil and cook over low to medium heat, partially
covered, for 25 minutes. Cover and cook another 10 minutes. Adjust
salt.

they are golden brown (approximately 10 minutes), stirring constantly.
Add tomatoes and ginger and continue cooking until the tomatoes
decompose into a delicious and fragrant mush (approximately 8 minutes.)
Stir constantly so that tomato mixture doesn't stick. Turn heat to low
