Moong Dal

Ingredients
 

1 1/4 cup moong dal, roasted
1/2 cup water
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp turmeric
3 tbsp ghee
1 pinch cumin seeds
2 small bay leaves
2 each red chiles
2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 1/4 tsp ginger, grated

4 tbsp cilantro, chopped

Preparation
 
Wash dal & bring to a boil. Add salt & turmeric, remove any scum that
gathers on the surface. Cover & simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until
tender. (Mark s note: the recipe doesn t say, but I presume that it
is calling for split moong beans: whole ones take a whole lot longer
to cook than this).

Heat ghee in a large pot & add cumin seeds, bay leaves, chiles,
onions & ginger. Fry for 2 minutes, stirring. Add raisins & coconut
& mix in the cooked dal. Add the remaining ingredients & simmer over
low heat, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes. If the resultant dal is
too thick, thin it with a little water. It should be conssitency of
pea soup.
