Ingredients

1 cup red lentils (masoor dal or other yellow lentils)
1 onion (yellow, medium, finely chopped)
1 tomato (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (finely sliced)
3/4 tsp turmeric
4 cups water
Salt (to taste)
2.5 tbsp olive oil (or ghee)
2 tsp cumin seeds
4 dried red chilies
8 - 10 curry leaves
1.5 inch ginger (finely grated)
4 cloves garlic (finely grated)
1 shallot (medium, finely chopped (or small onion))
1 tomato (small, finely chopped)
1 green chili (optional, remove seeds for less heat)
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder* (Kashmiri chili powder is less pungent)
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garam masala
1 tsp kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves)
1/2 tsp mustard seeds (optional)
2 tsp cumin seeds
5 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
5 dried red chilies
8 - 10 curry leaves
2 tbsp cilantro ( chopped)
1 tbsp ghee (optional)

Steps:

Rinse the lentils well until the water is clear and drain in colander. Tip: If using other yellow lentils instead of red lentils, then soaking in water for about an hour will help.
In a medium cooking pot take the drained red lentils, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced garlic, turmeric, water and bring it to a boil.
Lower the heat and cook it for about 30 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue to cook until most lentils start breaking down, become a bit mushy and turn into a thick sauce like consistency.
Cook the dal until it reaches a consistency that is thinner than what is desired, because it will thicken further after cooking.

Ingredients

1/4 cup ghee or clarified butter
1 1/2 cups diced onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 jalapeno peppers, cored, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon cumin seeds, toasted and crushed
2 cups orange lentils
2 tablespoons finely minced ginger
2 tablespoons Garam Masala, recipe follows
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup diced tomatoes
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
8 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1/2 tablespoon whole cloves
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon cardamom seeds
3 tablespoons cumin seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
Four 3-inch cinnamon sticks
1/4 cup dried red chiles
1/2 tablespoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

In a large pot, heat the ghee and stir-fry the onions just until wilted, do not brown. Add the garlic, jalapeno, cumin, lentils, ginger, curry powder, salt, pepper, sugar and bay leaf. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes, until the herbs and spices bloom (aromatic). Add the tomatoes and deglaze with the vinegar. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer and cook until lentils are tender, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning with cumin, salt, pepper and sugar.
In a large saute pan, combine the black peppercorns, cloves, cardamom seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cinnamon sticks, and dried red chiles. Over medium heat, cook just until slightly toasted, stirring constantly. Turn off heat and stir in the grated nutmeg.
Transfer to a food processor and grind to a fine powder. Pass through a fine strainer. Allow to cool to room temperature. Store in an airtight jar. Use as needed.

1. Place the lentils in a medium bowl and cover them with water. Wash the lentils with your hand, tip out the water and repeat this process until the water runs clear. Cover the lentils with fresh water and soak 30 minutes to 1 hour (this will allow them to cook faster).
2. Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. When it begins to shimmer, add the onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they start to become tender and translucent. Add the ginger and garlic and cook with the onions for an additional 2-3 minutes, until everything starts to brown slightly.
3. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Roast the masala for 2-3 minutes, until it smells aromatic and darkens in color.
4. Add the tomato paste to the spices and cook it until it deepens in color, about 1-2 minutes. Now, pour in your tomatoes. Continue to cook until the tomatoes reduce slightly, 3-4 minutes.
