This dal is really rich and luscious. I sometimes cut down on the ghee and
substitute milk for cream, but this is the complete version. It's best
eaten with the flatbread called naan. Most people don't make naan at home,
at least here in South India, because it requires a special oven, but this
version, by Tarla Dalal, is pretty good. The cooking method is from
Flatbreads and Flavors, by Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid.
Put urad and beans in water, bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and
soak for several hours. Drain and pressure cook in 3 cups water for 20
minutes, or until very soft. Drain and mash well. While dal is cooking,
heat ghee in a thick pan, add grated onion, ginger and garlic, cook till
golden brown. Cool slightly, add milk, cream, turmeric, chillie powder,
garam masala, cumin powder, cardamom pods, green chillies, salt. Mix well.
Add mashed dal, cook all together on medium heat until fragrant. Before
serving, add juice of one lemon.
