Experience the rich flavors of Indian masoor daal - a blend of red lentils, onions, and aromatic spices.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup dry red lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 slice ginger, 1 inch piece, peeled
  • 2.5 cups water, or as needed
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 4 teaspoons dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine lentils, salt, cayenne pepper, turmeric, and ginger. Add enough water to cover lentils by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally and skimming off any foam, until lentils are tender and soupy, about 25-30 minutes.
  • In the final minute of cooking, mix oil, dried onion, and cumin seeds in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until the onion is golden brown, about 45 seconds to 1 minute, making sure not to overcook the onion.
  • Incorporate the aromatic onion-infused oil into the lentils.
