For the Kaali Daal

– Wash the lentils and soak for 2 hours. Drain the water in which the lentils were soaked.

2

– Transfer the lentils to a pot and add about 3-4 cups water. The water level should be just above the lentils.

3

– Add the spices (red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt and garlic paste).

4

– Cook the lentils on medium low heat, until tender and cooked through, while occasionally stirring. This will take about an hour.

5

– Once the lentils are cooked, you can mash them a little bit with a wooden spoon, or using a hand blender, pulse a couple times. This will make the kaali daal creamy.
