Dhaba Style Chanay ki Daal or Gram Lentils

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Heat about ¼ cup of oil in a 3 or more inch deep saucepan, add cumin seeds and onion and let the onion turn golden brown.

Step 2

Now add in the garlic, ginger, and the rest of the spices EXCEPT the pepper. Stir fry for about two minutes and then add the tomato, cook it till it is nice and mushy. Add a little water if it starts to stick. After about five minutes add your chana daal, cook at high heat, and keep stirring. Add a little more water if necessary, but remember this will be a fairly ‘dry’ daal. Add a few turns of black pepper, then the chopped cilantro and the green chilli (sliced or whole is up to you). Cover your saucepan, turn the heat off, and dig in.
