Last night I made a very simple dal that accompanied a stir fry (two different genres, I know) but is sounded good! It is so easy and soooo delish. This recipe makes alot! You can cut it in half easily.
2 c. split red lentils
4 tbls. ghee (or unsalted butter)
1 large onion diced
5 1/2 c. boiling water
salt to taste
In large saucepan over med/med high heat, melt butter and add onion. Stir occasionally but let the onions brown a bit on the bottom of the pan, really good flavor comes from that! Boil 6 cups of water in a separate pan or kettle. When onions are translucent and browned a little add boiling water and the lentils. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Cover with lid and let simmer for 15 min. It could be less or more time, just check it. It will be a giant pot of mush, as split dal cooks fast and does not retain it's shape very well. Add salt last when it is almost done. That's it!
