Recipe - Dhal

1 One fourth cup Brown lentils
3 Three fourths cup Water
1 teaspoon Turmeric
1 Garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoon Ghee
1 lg Onion, chopped
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
One half teaspoon Ground ginger
1 teaspoon Coriander
One half teaspoon Cayenne pepper
Fresh cilantro sprigs (opt)

Wash lentils in cold water.

In a saucepan, combine lentils, water, turmeric and garlic. Cover and
simmer 30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Uncover and cook 23 minutes
to reduce excess liquid.

Heat ghee in a saucepan. Add onion and fry gently 5 minutes. Add Garam
Masala, ginger, coriander and cayenne pepper; cook gently 1 minute. Add
mixture to lentils and stir well. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.

NOTE: For a less fiery flavor, reduce cayenne pepper.
