How to make dal:

• Start by rinsing dal in a colander, swirling often with your hands to ensure it is fully rinsed.
• Place rinsed dal in a bowl with plenty of water to soak for at least 1 hour.
• In a large saucepan add soaked dal and 6 cups of water. Boil uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until dal is very mushy.
• Drain any excess water. Set aside. You should have about 4 cups of cooked dal.
• In a large saucepan or wok, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Saute until seeds begin to pop and the mustard seeds have turned a deep brown color.
• Add onions and a pinch of salt and saute until the onions are lightly browned and softened.
• Next add the ginger and garlic pastes. Saute briefly- just about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Add remaining spices- turmeric, garam masala powder, red chili powder, and cumin powder. Saute for about 30 seconds.
• Then add diced tomato and ½ cup water. Cook down until water evaporates and the oil begins to separate from the mixture. Tomato should be very soft. (Takes about 6-7 minutes).
• Next, stir in the cooked dal. Season mixture generously with salt to taste. Stir in lemon juice.
• Feel free to add more or less water to your desired consistency.
• Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring intermittently to prevent sticking, to allow flavors to come together.
• Lastly, stir in chopped cilantro. Add additional cilantro leaves to garnish bowls of dal.
