Preparation method
Boiling the lentils
Rinse the lentils well under cold running water until the water runs clear. Place the lentils in a large pot with 800 ml of water, add the ground turmeric and sea salt. Simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface, until the lentils become very soft and creamy.
Preparing the aromatic sauce (Tadka)
While the lentils are boiling, finely chop the yellow onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and green chilli pepper.
In a deep pan, heat the clarified butter (ghee) over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until they release their intense aroma without burning.
Chef's tip
If you prefer an even smoother texture, you can lightly mash some of the lentils with a whisk or wooden spoon just before adding the aromatic tempering.
Clarified butter (ghee) provides that authentic nutty flavour characteristic of Indian dishes, but for a 100% vegan option, you can replace it with coconut oil or sunflower oil.
