  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        vegetable broth -- as needed or water
     1/2                onion -- diced
  5                     garlic cloves -- minced
  1         Tablespoon  fresh ginger -- minced
                        red pepper flakes
  1           teaspoon  ground coriander
  1                cup  tomato sauce
     1/2           cup  red lentils
  2          teaspoons  yellow mustard
  1           teaspoon  garam masala
                        smoked paprika
 
Line a medium pot with a thin layer of water or broth. Saute onion,
garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes over high heat until onions are
translucent - about a minute.
 
Stir in coriander so that the onion, garlic, and ginger are well coated.
Add tomato sauce and stir, then add red lentils and 1 cup water. Cover,
bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer.
 
Continue to cook until the lentils are soft and mushy (they will change to
an orange color) and most of the liquid has been absorbed - about 20
minutes.
 
Add mustard, garam masala, and a dash or two smoked paprika, stirring to
combine. Turn off the heat and let rest 5 to 15 minutes (the longer the
better). Taste, adding more salt or more paprika if desired.
 
 
Serves 2
 
AuthorNote: Masoor dal means "red lentils". I know, I got really creative
with this dish's name! I originally called it Bengal Lentils because I got
the idea for this recipe after I happened upon a dish by Tasty Bite with
the same name. However, after a little research, I decided this dish
didn't really reflect Bengali or more specifically, West Bengal cuisine,
so "red lentils" it is. Name drama aside, this dish is awesome!
