Spicy Dal for Camp or Home Directions
- Bring water to a boil and add lentils or split moong dal; cover, reduce heat and simmer 12-15 minutes or until completely tender. Drain any excess water. In a small skillet, heat the ghee; add the onion and sauté until softened, about five minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and spices and cook for a minute or two, stirring occasionally.
