Daali Thoy (Toor dal)

A very simple lentil dish with lots of ginger!

Ingredients:
Toor dal - 1 cup
Ginger, chopped fine - 2" piece
Green chillies, slit lengthwise - 3 med
Turmeric - a pinch
Seasoning:
Oil - 1 tbsp
Garlic, chopped fine - 3 pods
Coriander leaves, chopped - 2 tbsp
Salt - 1 tsp

Cooking time: 20 min
Servings: 3-4

Method:
Cook the toor dal with the ginger, green chillies and turmeric almost mushy. Pressure cooking is a preferable, cooking on the stove will take longer (40 min?). If pressure cooking, use 2.5 cups for every cup of dal. When cooked, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water based on desired consistency.

Heat the oil, fry the garlic until golden brown. Season the dal with this garlic, add salt and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot with rice or chapatis.
