Bright Yellow Dal, as prepared at Dr. Gabe Mirkin's Fat Free Clinic: Dal is
a thick puree of spiced lentils or split peas that can be yellow, orange,
green or brown depending on the legume you choose. Serve it with a green
salad and pita bread, or combine it with other Indianinspired dishes for a
multicourse ethnic feast.

Bring all ingredients except the cilantro to a boil in a large pot and
simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. Stir frequently during the last half of
the cooking time. Remove from the heat and stir briskly with a whisk or
large spoon to mash the lentils or split peas into a creamy puree. (You can
use a blender if you want a really smooth dal, but I find the handmashed
version more interesting.) Stir in the cilantro and sprinkle a little on
top for garnish. 68 servings.
