• 1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

How to Make Ayurvedic Dahl

1. Rinse 1 cup red lentils thoroughly under cold water.
2. In a large stockpot, combine 1 cup red lentils, 3 cups water, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, and 1 inch ginger (grated).
3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are completely tender and soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. While the lentils simmer, prepare the tempering: In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons ghee over medium heat.
6. Add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned.
7. Once the lentils are cooked, remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste).
8. Pour the cooked lentils into the saucepan with the cumin-ghee tempering. Gently stir to combine.
9. Cover and let the flavors meld for about 2 minutes.
10. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
