PRO TIP

How about some spice?
Use 1 teaspoon of cayenne powder.
Red peppers should be chopped and cooked with onions.
When the dahl begins to boil, slice a red pepper across (leaving the green stem on). Leaving the stem on the red pepper will let you remove it after the dahl is finished, and it will still provide a great spicy flavor without the danger of biting into one of those sinister little red pieces. It can be taken straight from the pan).
more flavor or texture?
Use 1 teaspoon of garam masala.
To the spice mixture, add ground cumin, ground cilantro seeds, and/or ground kurkuma.
prefer it creamier? Coconut milk should be added.
