Dal Curry
- Heat the Anchor ™ Ghee in a heavy-bottom saucepan on a medium heat.
- Add the chilli and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the onion and cook for five minutes or until softened.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, ginger and curry leaves (if using), and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomato and cumin, then stir and cook until it thickens slightly.
- Add the lentils, water and turmeric and stir until combined.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and cook for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
- After an hour, remove the lid and cook uncovered for a further 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the curry reaches the consistency of porridge.
- While the curry finishes cooking, cook the rice. Just before serving, stir the garam masala into the curry and season to taste.
Garnish
