How to make a tasty dhal(parippu)curry.

Tempering ingredients for dhal curry
3 tablespoons oil
1 sprig of Curry leaves(a few to be used for tempering and half while cooking the dhal).
4 pods of Garlic((a few to be used for tempering and half while cooking the dhal).
1 large Onion(a few to be used for tempering and half while cooking the dhal).
a teaspoon of Turmeric powder(half to be used for tempering and half while cooking the dhal).
1 teaspoon chilli flecks or 2 whole dry red chillies
1/2 teaspoon Mustard seeds
To cook the dhal curry.
1 cup Dhal(lentils, parippu)
1/2 cup of water
A few of all the other ingredients mentioned for tempering above(turmeric, curry leaves, garlic, onions).
12 green chilli sliced
1 teaspoon of Salt
1/2 cup Coconut milk


How to Cook the dhal curry

Wash the lentils thoroughly,
Turn in the washed lentils(1 cup) to the pan you used for tempering(saves washing).
Pour in the water with a pinch of turmeric and a few slices of onions, garlic, green chillies and curry leaves.
Over medium heat, let the lentils cook until the water(1/2 cup) evaporates, this takes 1015 minutes.
When the lentils are cooked, gradually add the coconut milk(1/2 cup)and let it simmer on low fire. 1015 minutes, add salt to taste.
Tempering

Cut the large onion and garlic(4 pods) into thin slices and set aside.
Add three tablespoons of oil to a pan, include the curry leaves, sliced garlic, onions and turmeric powder(1 tsp).
Leave it to cook until the onions turn translucent over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Reduce heat and include the chilli flakes(1tsp) or 2 whole dried red chillies, once you see the onions turning golden brown, add the mustard seeds(1/2 tsp) and cook for 2 minutes.
Once all the ingredients turn golden brown, remove the tempered ingredients from the heat and transfer to a separate dish.
