Ingredients:-

• 2 cups of washed skinless masoor dal (pressure cook with water)
• 3-4 stalks of celery
• 2 small red onions
• 5-7 cloves of garlic
• 3-4 cups of raw fresh cranberry (frozen can be used also)
• 1 tbsp garam masala
• 1 tbsp kitchen king masala (available at the Indian grocery store)
• 1 tsp turmeric
• Chilli powder to your preference
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp cumin seeds
• Cilantro for garnish

Process:-

• Wash the masoor dal and pressure cook
• In a pan dry roast cumin seeds
• Next add chopped onions and finely chopped garlic – sauté it for 4-5 mins
• Then add chopped celery and cranberry – sauté for another 4-5 mins
• Add all the spices, cooked dal and water to your preferred consistency and let it simmer for 5-8 mins
• Usually the dal thickens once it cools down hence I usually add additional water while it is simmering
• At the end garnish with finely chopped cilantro

Enjoy this dal with brown rice, quinoa, barley, roti or as is with some soy yogurt.
