Tarka Dal
Built around yellow lentils and water -- the method starts by put the rinsed lentils.
A simmered, deeply spiced sauce that clings to every bite -- scoop it up with naan. Here it's built on yellow lentils, water and turmeric -- a medium, Indian recipe that starts by put the rinsed lentils, and is ready in roughly 50 minutes.
Worth the 50 minutes -- this is a weekend project that pays off.
A few technique steps to focus on, but nothing that needs special equipment.
Built around yellow lentils, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.
