1 cup chana dahl

1 1/2 tsp. turmeric

1/2 tsp ground cardamom

1 bay leaf

1 tsp. salt

2 tbsp. sunflower oil

6 whole cloves

2 tsp. garlic flakes

1.5 tbsp. dry parsley or cilantro

1. Combine the dahl, turmeric, cardamom, bay leaf, salt and 4 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer partly covered for 40 minutes. Add 1 cup additional water if dries, until the dahl is tender. Remove the bay leaf. Pure the dahl until saucy but not soupy.
