Scrumptious Dahl

Seems like everyone is making dahl tonight with chapatis! That makes me very happy. This dahl recipe is amazing, thanks Adwok.

Method

Heat oil in a pan and fry off the cumin seeds until they pop, add in the Chopped onion and fry for a few minutes.
Finely mince garlic, ginger, tumeric, chilli and coriander roots.
Add to onion and fry for about five minutes.
Add spice powders and fry until fragrant.
Add lentils and cover with water to about two inches over the top. Add cinnamon stick and dried galangal root.
Bring to boil and cook on medium boil until lentils collapse.
Should take about 45 minutes.
Keep an eye on liquid level and add more if needed.
In a small fry pan, heat another tablespoon of oil.
When hot add mustard seeds and curry leaves.
As soon as mustard seeds start to pop, remove from heat and stir the lot into the lentils.
Be careful as the oil will spit when adding to the lentils.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve with chapatis.
