Rinse the Lentils: Wash the lentils thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. Soak them for about 15-20 minutes. 2. Cook the Lentils: In a pressure cooker, add the soaked lentils, turmeric, salt, and 3-4 cups of water. Cook for 3-4 whistles or until the lentils are soft. You can also cook them in a pot, but it will take longer. 3. Prepare the Tempering (Tadka): Heat oil or ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add tomatoes and cook until they soften. Add coriander powder, garam masala, and red chili powder. Cook until the oil starts separating from the masala. 4. Combine: Pour the cooked tempering into the boiled lentils and mix well. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary. Let it simmer for another 5-7 minutes. 5. Garnish: Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. For the Rice: 1. Rinse the Rice: Wash the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. 2. Cook the Rice: In a pot, add 2 cups of water, a pinch of salt, and 1 tsp of oil or ghee. Bring to a boil. 3. Simmer: Add the rinsed rice, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 12-15 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. 4. Fluff and Serve: Once done, turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Serving: Serve the hot, flavorful daal with steamed rice (chawal) and garnish with a wedge of lemon or more fresh coriander. Enjoy with a side of papad or pickle for an extra burst of flavor!
