Chana Ki Dal Aur Karailay

1. 1

   In a saucepan, combine the soaked chana dal, 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder and red chili powder. Add water; the water should cover the lentils entirely. Bring to a boil then lower to a gentle simmer for about 35-40 minutes. Add salt half-way through the cooking process (it will bring out the natural flavor of the lentils and the lentils will be more tender) and keep stirring every now and then so the lentils don't stick to the bottom of the pot. The liquid should have evaporated. Remove any liquid (if any).
