Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 lb whole Urad Dal, soaked overnight in water to cover
3 cups water
1 tablespoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garam masala
2 teaspoons salt
1/2-1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
cooked basmati rice
chopped cilantro, to taste
minced fresh ginger, to taste

Steps:

  • Drain dal; rinse; combine dal with the 3 cups water, turmeric and oil in a medium saucepan; heat to boiling, cover and cook until dal are cooked through but not mushy, about 30 minutes- the dal should absorb most of the water.
  • Stir in garlic, ginger, cumin, garam masala, salt, red pepper, butter and half-and-half; heat to boiling over medium heat; cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve over cooked rice; garnish with cilantro and ginger.
