• 2 tablespoons oil or ghee
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
• Lemon wedges (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Daal Mash:
   • In a pot, add the rinsed Daal Mash and 3 cups of water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and creamy.

   • Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
   • Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until fragrant.
3. Create the Masala:
   • Add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies. Cook until the tomatoes break down and the oil starts to separate.
   • Add turmeric, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well and let the spices cook for 2-3 minutes.
4. Combine the Lentils:
   • Add the cooked Daal Mash to the masala, and mix thoroughly.
   • Let it simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Add water if necessary to adjust consistency.
