- Wash lentils and boil together with other ingredients from first list. Stir often to prevent lumping. Cook over medium heat, partially covered, for 25 min. Cover, reduce heat, and cook an additional 10 min. The dal is essentially done at this point and can be served as is. The next few steps make it a morespecial presentation.
- While the dal is cooking, heat the ghee in a pan over high heat. Add in the onions and fry, stirring constantly, till brown (about 10 min.) Add in the ginger and tomatoes and continue frying for another 8 min till the tomatoes are reduced and thick. Stir constantly.
- Blend the fried onion-tomato paste into the dal and continue cooking for another 10 min. Keep the dal on a low simmer while you make the spiced butter.
- Have the spices in separate piles ready for use. Heat the ghee in a small pan over medium high heat. When it is warm, add in the cumin, fennel, mustard, and onion seeds. The mustard seeds should be spattering in about 15 seconds. Add in the bay leaves and chili pods and fry another 15-20 seconds, constantly turning and tossing the spices. Turn off the heat, add in the garlic and let it sizzle for about 20 seconds. Pour entire contents of the pan into the dal. Mix and serve.
