  • Two hours before you start preparing this dal, soak the lentils in warm water and keep aside.
  • Before you start cooking, wash it in many changes of fresh water.
  • Put the washed and drained lentils in a pot.
  • Add water and cook on medium heat until the lentils are tender.
  • Remove the excess water and keep aside.
  • Now, place a griddle under the pot which has the lentils. Allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add turmeric powder, green chillies, 1/2 teaspoons ghee, asafoetida and the ginger.
  • Mash the lentils slightly and take care not to turn then into a puree(mash gently and lightly).
  • Add the boiled water that you had kept aside in the beginning.
  • Stir in 2 cups more of water.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Once it begins to boil, add curry leaves, salt and dried red chillies.
  • Lower flame to medium and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Heat 1/2 teaspoons ghee in a pot.
  • Toss in the cumin seeds and allow to crackle.
  • Once the cumin seeds start changing colour, remove from heat and add them to the lentils.
  • Garnish with corriander leaves and serve hot with a bowl of steaming hot Basmati rice and some raita or plain yoghurt on the side.

Worked part time as a Telemarketer in Oman in the Crowne Plaza Hotel. <br /> <br />2. Worked as a Certified Professional Tarotist (Tarot Card Reader) and done accurate predicitions for many people from different parts of the world, most memorable of which is the reading I did for my college Law lecturer and it came true. <br /> <br />3. Written nearly 1000 poems several of which have been published in leading newspapers, ezines and magazines both in Oman and India. <br /> <br />4.
