This is a great recipe.  I added a pinch of black mustard seeds and some fresh garlic (which I wouldn't add next time) but on the whole, this recipe gets my vote for authentic Indian cuisine:0)

Recipe works with any legume. I used red beans and added cream just before serving. Very good.

Hey.  I make daal with yogurt, too.  You can put it in after the onions and such. Then simmer for a couple of minutes.  Makes a nice addition, I think...

I would like to know what Daal is, and where can I find it.

This was pretty good. But the recipe wasn't very clear; I didn't know how smallthe tomato and onion was supposed to be chopped, or how long to boil the lentils. And the daal stuck to the pot.
