Suggest a better descriptionWash lentils/dal in few changes of water until the water runs clear. Keep the lentils soaked in clean water until you are ready to use.
Combine grated tomatoes, chili garlic paste, salt and turmeric in non reactive bowl.
Heat ghee/oil in the pressure cooker (or a heavy bottomed pot if not using the pressure cooker). When the oil shimmers, add the red dry chili pepper or the crushed pepper, cloves, cumin seeds and hing.
When the cumin starts to sizzle, add the coarsely ground black pepper and the onions.
Cook at medium heat until the onions soften and start to brown at the edges. Now strain out the water and add the lentils to the onions.
Add the mix of the grated tomatoes and garlic. Cook at medium to low heat, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes and the spice mix coat the lentils and the ghee/oil starts separating and leaving the sides of the cooker or the pot, about 10-12 minutes.
Now add the ginger, give it a stir and add the warm water. Stir everything together and close the cooker; cook until done (follow instructions). It will take about 12-15 minutes in the pressure cooker (time will vary with each cooker). If you are not using a pressure cooker, cover the pot and cook until the lentils are tender.
If you want the dal less soupy, simmer for a little bit longer until you have the desired consistency. We have it soupy if we are having with rice and a thick enough to coat a spoon, if we are having with bread/flatbread.
