- 2 tsp goda garam masala powder (see goda masala)
- 2 kokum or 1 tsp tamarind paste
- salt , to taste
- 1 pinch asafetida powder
- 12 curry leaves (fresh , if possible)
Directions:
- Simmer the lentils in 4 cups of water for approximately 20 minutes, until just cooked, but not mushy.
- Keep an eye on the lentils while they cook to ensure the water does not fully evaporate.
- Drain off most of the water when the lentils are cooked and add the powder spices, kokum (or tamarind paste), desiccated coconut and salt to taste.
- Simmer for a couple of minutes and stir until well mixed, adding more water if necessary to make a moist, but not sloppy, consistency.
- Remove from the heat and keep warm.
- Heat oil in a small pan, add the mustard seeds, and saute until they pop and crackle.
- Add the cumin seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves.
- Stir once, then pour the oil and spices over the lentils.
- Mix well, and serve hot garnished with cilantro.
- Accompany with rice and a vegetable curry if desired.
