Masoor Dal

What is masoor dal?  It is a very yummy, quick, and easy red lentil curry dish!
I was looking for a red lentil dish that I could make for my family with the ingredient's I already had on hand.  I didn't have much so it was tough to find until I saw this recipe here!  It just looked so easy I had to give it a try!  This is what I came up with! 

Masoor Dal
  • 2 cups red lentils
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • red pepper flakes
I just threw all ingredients into a pot and cooked  until lentils were done.
Serve with some Naan and ENJOY!

    Angie, you are good. This sounds like a fantastic combination. Red lentils seem to be in, these days. Fortunately, I am coming across more and more recipes and I think thay are a good addition to any meal. Thanks for linking this up to My Meatless Mondays. A wonderful addition.

    I bet this would be good with yellow split peas (which is what is in the cupboard). I can't wait to try it this week!
