1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
3 tablespoons ghee
1 cumin seeds
2 bay leaves smalls

1
Wash dal & bring to a boil. Add salt & turmeric, remove any scum that gathers on the surface. Cover & simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender. (Mark's note: the recipe doesn't say, but I presume that it is calling for split moong beans: whole ones take a whole lot longer to cook than this).
2
Heat ghee in a large pot & add cumin seeds, bay leaves, chiles, onions & ginger. Fry for 2 minutes, stirring. Add raisins & coconut & mix in the cooked dal. Add the remaining ingredients & simmer over low heat, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes. If the resultant dal is too thick, thin it with a little water. It should be conssitency of pea soup.
