Servings: persons

1 cup chana dal (yellow split peas)
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 tablespoons ghee, divided
2 red onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup golden raisins
3 dried bay leaves
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons ginger, minced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 cup tomato, chopped
1 serrano chile, seeded and minced (if no sensitive palates present, quadruple)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garam masala

1
Rinse split peas in several changes of water until the water runs clear. Drain. Add 3 cups of water and turmeric and bring to a boil. Skim foam and simmer the peas, uncovered, until they are cooked but al dente, approximately 30 minutes.
2
Add 2 more cups water and simmer until tender, approximately 15 more minutes.
3
In the meantime, heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a large pan on high heat. Add onion, raisins, and bay leaves, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions look almost fried. Remove from pan.
4
In pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook just until they sizzle, which will be almost immediately. Add ginger and garlic and cook for a minute, stirring.
5
Add tomato, chiles, salt, garam masala, and 1 cup water. Scrape all the good bits off the bottom of the pan.
6
When the peas are tender, add the tomato-cumin mixture to the peas and simmer, uncovered, for another 15 minutes or so, until the tastes meld.
7
Add the onion-raisin mixture. Eat.
