CooKing- Dhal!

I just Love Dhal. I eat it with rice!
its one of those dishes that easy to do, quick and it can in the fridge for
lunches, accompany dinners of just a little hunger!
I do realise that not everyone is a fan of it! But I love it. So here is a simple way to cook it if you want to try!!!

Ingredients:

•             2 cups red lentils.                    
•             2 cloves.
•             1 meduin onion.
•             2 TSP ground cummin.
•             1/2 TSP cummin seeds.
•             1 TSP Tumeric.
•             3cm grated fresh ginger.
•             2 vegetable stock cubes.
•             1 cup of water. (you can add some more if needed)

Now lets get cooking!

1. Heat up 1 TBSP of oil in a large pan over meduin heat. 
2. Add the Onion and cook until a little soft.
3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and spices.Stir well.
4. Cook for 1min or until aromatic! (and it really smells divine)
5. Add the lentils, vegetable stock and water.
6. Bring to boil then reduce heat and cook, covered for about 3Omin. Or until lentils are soft! This is when you will notice if you need to ad more water or not...depending of the consistency to want to have your dhal!

Now to change it up a bit, you can also:

•  add a can (400gr) of diced tomatoes instead of the water..You will still have to ad 1/2 cup of water!
• Add diced eggplant once lentils are soft. And cook for a further 20min or until eggplant is soft! 
• I gave also once added a couple of whole boiled egg's into it, and that realy made it into a meal! Especially with the Eggplant too!

I think you can add quite a few things to this dish! 
I hope to enjoy cooking it, and do let me know if you try it!
