    Categories: Indian, Pakistani   
         Yield: 4 Servings   
       
         1 c  Masoor dal   
              - (red split lentils);   
              - rinsed in several   
              - changes of water   
         1 ts Kashmiri red chili powder   
       1/2 ts Turmeric powder   
         1 ts Salt; or to taste   
         4 tb Vegetable oil   
         1 sm Yellow onion; halved;

     Preparation time: 5 minutes   
     Cooking time: 25 minutes   
        
     A fool-proof, starter masoor dal (split red lentils) recipe with a   
     simple tadka of fried onions.   
        
     Tadka (optional):   
        
     Once the dal is ready, heat the vegetable oil in a small frying pan.   
     Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the sliced onion, and fry on   
     medium heat until it is an even golden brown, about 7 to 10 minutes.   
        
     Remove from heat, and pour the fried onion with the oil over the dal.   
     Place in a serving bowl, and serve alongside white rice.   
        
     Add the lentils, and 2 cups of water to a heavy-bottomed pot. Cover   
     with a tight-fitting lid, and bring to a quick boil over medium-high   
     heat.   
        
     Remove lid, lower to a simmer, and stir in Kashmiri red chili powder,   
     turmeric powder, and salt. Let the dal simmer, uncovered, over   
     medium-low to medium heat until it has absorbed the water, about 5 to   
     7 minutes. In the meantime, heat 2 additional cups of water in a   
     kettle.   
        
     Use a wooden spoon to push the dal against the pot to give it a creamy   
     consistency.   
        
     Pour the hot cups of water into the pot, and stir well. Let the dal   
     simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the   
     consistency you want. Check for salt, and adjust as needed.
