Dal Fry with Tadka

Rinse the lentils under running water until the water runs clear.

In a pot, combine the lentils, turmeric powder, salt, and water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are soft.

In a separate pan, heat ghee over medium heat.

Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Stir in minced garlic, ginger, and slit green chilies, and cook for a minute.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften.

Mix in red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala.

Cook for a few minutes until the spices are well combined.

Pour the tadka over the cooked dal and mix well.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
