Dal

Roald Dahl's favorite dish, this vegetarian curry has become a light yet protein rich go-to meal of mine. Serve with chutney, rice, and perhaps even a side sausage. (Gus)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup yellow lentils (soak 1 hour then strain)
• Ghee
• Onion
• 2 jalapenos/ chillies
• 6 garlic cloves
  
• Fresh ginger
  
• 6 dried curry leaves
• 1-2 tomatoes diced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp tumeric
• 1 tsp garam masala

Instructions:

2. Heat ghee and add onions, chillies, garlic, ginger and curry leaves.
