Recipe by Maya Kaimal Often the dhal served at a Sadhya is very plain, but I happen to like interesting dhals, like this recipe. Here I use small orange lentils (called "red" in stores) because they cook down into a creamy texture. I enrich it with cocon

Ingredients

1 cup masoor dal (small orange, a.k.a. "red," lentils) 3 cups water 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds 1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes 1/2 cup well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Bring lentils and 3 cups water to a boil with turmeric in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then gently simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until falling apart, about 20 minutes. When lentils are cooked, heat oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and red pepper flakes until mustard seeds begin to pop and/or turn gray and cumin seeds brown, about 1 minute. Stir spice mixture into lentils with coconut milk, cilantro, lemon juice, and salt and bring to a simmer.
