Step 1 Place a small frying pan over medium heat and put 2 teaspoons of cumin. Roast until aroma appears (about 1 to 2 minutes). Add 1 tsp. of ground chili and 2 tsp. of turmeric. Mix with the cumin. Step 2 Put dried yellow split pea or lentil in a large saucepan and cover with 1.3 liters of cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. If foam appears, remove it with a skimmer. Step 3 Reduce heat to low. Stir in the roasted spices, turmeric, ginger, and garlic, then cover and simmer gently for 1 hour. Step 4 Remove the lid, stir, and cook for 20 more minutes without a lid to make the split peas or lentil tender. Your Dal should be creamy and thick now. Step 5 Heat 2 tbsp. of olive oil in a small frying pan. Fry 3 finely chopped cloves of garlic until brown (about 3 minutes). Step 6 Stir the fried garlic and olive oil into the Dal. Remove and discard the ginger pieces. Step 7 Serve the Dal hot or cold. Enjoy!
