How to make it

1. Rinse the lentils thoroughly under cold running water. If using toor dal or mung dal, place them in a pot with 1 L of water and the turmeric, bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes until very soft. If using split red or yellow lentils, skip the pre-cook — they will cook directly in the sauce in 10–15 minutes.
