My mother prepares this curry for me whenever I'm home. If you prefer the authentic version, omit the chicken. It's seasoned with a few spices.

・Let the curry sit for 1 hour before serving as the flavour will meld.
・Omit the chicken if you prefer. Dal curry, is a everyday dish in northern India. Recipe by Plabar

Steps

1

Wash the lentils and soak in water for 30 minutes. The level of water should be about 3 cm higher than the beans. Add the ☆ ingredients and microwave for 15 minutes.
2

Finely chop the garlic, ginger and onion and cut the tomato into large chunks, and the chicken into bite sizes.
3

Add cumin seeds to a heated frying pan. When it starts to crackle, add garlic, ginger, curry leaf and stir-fry.
4

Add the onion and coriander when the pot becomes fragrant and fry until the onions become translucent.
5

Add the chicken and fry until the chicken changes colour.
6

Add the tomato and fry. Depending on your preference, stop frying before the tomatoes start to melt. I recommend you stop before it melts, as the flavor of the tomatoes are retained this way.
7

Add the lentils to the pan with the soaking water. Add more water so that the lentils are covered in 3 cm of water.
8

Mix and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, and 10 minutes over a low heat. Add the garam masala in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
9

It's ready to serve. They call this Dal in Hindi. Add butter, salt, pepper or lemon if you like.
