Ingredients:

• 1 cup masoor dal (red lentils), rinsed and soaked for 30 minutes  
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped  
• 1 medium tomato, finely chopped  
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste  
• 1 tsp Nuvi Spicez' Perfect Spicy-Perfect Colour Red Chilli Powder
• 1/2 tsp Nuvi Spicez' Turmeric Powder
• 1 tsp Nuvi Spicez' Coriander Powder  
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds  
• 2 tbsp oil or ghee  
• Salt to taste  
• Fresh coriander for garnish  
• 2-3 cups water  

How to Create Your Masoor Dal Magic:

1. Prepare the Dal: In a pressure cooker, add soaked masoor dal, Nuvi’s Turmeric Powder, salt, and water. Cook for 3–4 whistles or until the dal becomes soft and creamy. If cooking in a pot, simmer until fully tender. This step creates the smooth base for the Masoor Dal Recipe.
2. Prepare the Tadka (Tempering): Heat oil or ghee in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook until fragrant.
3. Spice It Up with Nuvi’s Blends: Add chopped tomatoes and cook until soft. Mix in NUVI Spicez Red Chilli Powder and Coriander Powder. Let the spices cook properly to release their rich aroma and flavour into the masala.
4. Bring It All Together: Add the cooked masoor dal to the prepared masala and stir well. Adjust the consistency with water if needed and simmer for a few minutes so all the flavours blend perfectly. This gives the Masoor Dal Recipe its comforting homemade taste.
5. Serve & Enjoy: Garnish with fresh coriander and serve your hot Masoor Dal Recipe with steamed rice, roti, or naan for a wholesome Indian meal.

Pro Tip:

For a creamier texture, lightly mash the dal using the back of a spoon before mixing it with the tadka.
