NEPALI MASOORI DAL

Ingredients

  • 1 cup lentils (dry, not canned)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup onion, sliced lengthwise
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 2-3 tablespoons neutral oil (such as canola or sunflower)

Directions

Wash and drain the lentils. Put in a saucepan with 4 cups of water. 

Bring to a boil, and then simmer on medium heat until cooked (30-45 minutes).

While the lentils are boiling, heat the oil in a separate skillet, until shimmering (but not smoking).

Turn the heat down to medium. Add cumin seeds and sizzle a few seconds until aromatic.

Add sliced onions and saute over medium-low heat until soft and golden.

Stir onion-spice mixture into the boiled lentils. If the dal is too thick, add some water. It should be the consistency of a thick soup. 

Add salt to taste and simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Serve over white rice with a side of fried potatoes or vegetable fritters.
