Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups masoor dal or 1 1/2 cups red lentils; 4 cups water; 1 teaspoon turmeric; 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste); 1/8 teaspoon canola oil or 1/8 teaspoon canola oil cooking spray; 1 tablespoon panch phoron; 1 large onion, diced; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes; 1 teaspoon ginger paste or 1 teaspoon minced gingerroot; 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes; 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets; 1/2 cup water

Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups masoor dal or 1 1/2 cups red lentils
4 cups water
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon canola oil or 1/8 teaspoon canola oil cooking spray
1 tablespoon panch phoron
1 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ginger paste or 1 teaspoon minced gingerroot
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
1/2 cup water

1
Pick over and rinse the lentils and add them to a pot with the water and turmeric.
2
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer until the dal is tender, about 20 to 35 minutes. When done, add salt and set aside.
3
While the dal is cooking, prepare the vegetables.
4
Heat a large, deep skillet, preferably non-stick. When hot, add the canola oil and shake it to spread it around. Add the panch phoran and stir. (You may instead use oil spray; spray before and after adding the panch phoran.).
5
When the first seed pops, immediately add the onion, garlic, pepper flakes, and ginger paste. Stir and cook until the onion softens, about 2 minutes.
6
Add the tomatoes, cauliflower, and water, and stir. Cover and cook until the cauliflower is just tender, about 10 minutes.
7
When the dal and cauliflower are both done, add the dal to the cauliflower mixture. Stir well, and check seasoning, adding more salt if needed.
8
Simmer gently for about 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Serve hot, over rice if desired.
