Spiced Dal with Fluffy Rice and Salted Yoghurt

Ingredients for Spiced Dal with Fluffy Rice and Salted Yoghurt

• 2 tablespoons ghee, virgin coconut oil, or vegetable oil

• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped

• 1 pieza de jengibre de 2 pulgadas, pelado y finamente rallado

• 2 dientes de ajo, finamente rallados

• 230g yellow split peas, rinsed

• 2 cucharaditas de cilantro molido

• 1 cucharadita de cúrcuma molida

• 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom

• Pizca de hojuelas de pimiento rojo triturado

• Sal kosher

• 1 lima

• 1 small red onion, very thinly sliced into rounds, rinsed

• Pizca de azúcar

• 120ml plain whole-milk Greek yoghurt

• Cooked Jasmine or basmati rice (for serving)

• Pimienta negra recién molida

Heat ghee in a medium pot over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned around the edges, 5–7 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring often, just to take the edge off garlic, about 30 seconds. Add 80ml water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates, about 1 minute. Add split peas, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 950ml water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until split peas are very tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 12–14 minutes; season with salt. Cover with a lid and keep dal warm over low heat while you make the toppings.

Finely grate zest from lime into a small bowl. Cut lime in half and squeeze juice into bowl (you’ll have about 2 tablespoons ). Add red onion, sugar, and a large pinch of salt and toss, squeezing onion with your hands to help it soften quickly.

Mix yoghurt and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl; season with salt.

Serve dal over rice drizzled with salty yoghurt and topped with onion and pepper.

Dal (without yoghurt and onion) can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
