250 g Dhal (yellow lentils) soaked for 20 minutes and rinsed
1 onion sliced
5 cloves of garlic sliced thinly
1 stick cinnamon
20 curry leaves
1 piece rampe (if not available use lemon grass)
¼ t Tumeric
1 t mustard seed powder
1 t curry powder
2 t chilli powder
½ t black pepper
1 t salt
2 ½ cup coconut milk
½ - ¾ cup water
1 ½ cup cream
For Topping
1 onion sliced thinly
1 t oil
2 pinch of salt
1 t chilli
Method
Place all ingredients except salt in a large pot and cook for 15 min over medium heat. Add more water for a soupier mixture or less for a dry dhal. Add in salt at the end.
Fry
Heat oil over medium high heat. Add in onion, salt and chilli and fry until golden brown.
Once dhal mixture is done pour into serving bowl and spread onion mixture on top.
Option:
For a healthy twist add in a few handfuls of raw spinach or kale once dhal has cooled slightly.
