  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      cups          red lentils
   1      teaspoon      salt
   5      cups          water
   1      tablespoon    olive oil
     3/4  teaspoon      turmeric
     3/4  teaspoon      ground cumin
     3/4  teaspoon      coriander
     3/4  teaspoon      ground ginger
     3/8  teaspoon      cayenne
   1      teaspoon      mustard seed

Rinse red lentils and place in pot along with salt and water. Bring
to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until completely tender, about
30 minutes. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil, then add all
of the spices and cook over medium heat until the mustard seeds begin
to pop. Slowly spoon the cooked lentils (water and all) into the
skillet with the spices (be careful, it will spatter), and stir to
mix. Simmer gently, stirring often, until dal is thickened to the
consistency of refried beans. Serve hot.

About 6 servings.
