Red split Lentils

This is my comfort food. My Nani (grandmother) used to make it, here's my version.

ALL YOU NEED:

1 cup Red split lentils (Masoor ki daal)
1 tsp Cumin seeds
2 1/2 cups water
1 medium chopped Onions
2 medium chopped tomato
1 tbsp ghee (you can use any kind of oil)
5-6 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 tbsp ginger paste (you can used the chopped version too)
Freshly chopped Cilantro leaves
Salt to taste
1 tsp turmeric powder
Green chilies (optional)

METHOD:

Wash the lentils and soak them in the water for 5-10 mins

Heat oil in a pressure cooker to this add cumin seeds and then onions...
Cook until brown....

Add tomatoes and cover it with a lid, once the tomatoes look soggy go ahead and mash them and mix the whole thing and let it cook for 2-4 mins (stirring occasionally)
Go ahead and add Salt & turmeric powder

Add the lentil with water. Wait for 1whistle and then turn off the heat.
When it cools down open the lid and add Garlic, ginger, cilantro, green chillies....

Pair it with rice or roti. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do..:)
