Masoor Dahl is a staple in Indian vegetarian cooking, traditionally made in conjunction with rice because lentils have an extremely high protein content. However, the protein in lentils is incomplete without the essential amino acids found in grains and rice. So, together, the rice and the lentils create a complete protein, ideal for vegetarians and vegans. In this recipe, we use red lentils which are quick-cooking and don't require pre-soaking. The dish is flavored with a bouquet of spices, including cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, and garam masala, which lend a warm, aromatic note to the soup. The final step involves tempering the spices in mustard oil, infusing the oil with the essence of the seeds and spices, and pouring it over the lentil base to finish the dish. The result is a flavorful, nutrient-dense meal that can be served with rice, naan bread, or any other flatbread of your choice.
