How to Make Daal

Rinse the lentils thoroughly, and then drain. Place them in the large saucepan with the turmeric, salt, cayenne pepper, and ginger.

Add 1 inch of water and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Then reduce the heat and simmer until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes.

Combine the oil, cumin, and onion in a small microwave-safe dish and microwave for 1 minute.

Carefully pour the mixture over the lentils, and then mix to combine.

Tear off a piece of naan, scoop up some daal, and enjoy.
