1. 1

   ["Wash dahl 2x. Soak half an hour or so if you want it softer. Add 3 c water.", "Cook dahl 20-25 minutes over medium heat.", "Add diced tomatoes, green chiles, and turmeric. Cook 20 minutes.", "In a separate pan, heat oil (medium heat). Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, red chiles, and asafoetida. Mustard seeds will ""pop"" like popcorn. (I advise keeping a lid on it to avoid seeds all over your stove.).", "Add seed mixture to dahl. Add salt to taste and curry leaves. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Serve with rice. Enjoy!", "To make mango dal, cut up 2 green mangoes. (again, available in Indian grocery stores). Use in place of tomatoes. This makes a sweet dal.", "To make cucumber dal, peel and cut up 2 cucumbers or Indian cucumbers (dosaki). Use in place of tomatoes.", "To make lemon dal, do not add a vegetable and add the juice of 2 lemons with salt and curry leaves.", "To make spinach dal, add 2 c fresh spinach (or frozen spinach) about 10 minutes before cooking is over.", "You may have to add a little water with the different types of veggies."]
