This is one of my favorite lentil soups (Daal) that my mom makes. She makes it using a pressure cooker, but I like how it tastes when it is made in a crock pot. Whole Maa Daal can also be found in Indian Stores marked as Urad.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole maa daal
3 cups water
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp ginger minced
1 tsp garlic minced
1 medium sized onion chopped
1 14 oz can cut tomato
Salt, red chili powder, garam masala to taste but I use about a tsp to start out with and then adjust.
2 tbs butter
Fresh cut cilantro (optional)
Rinse the whole maa daal under warm water. In a crock pot place all ingredients except butter and cilantro. Cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 10 to 12 hours. Before serving add the butter and the cilantro and stir. Adjust spices as necessary.
Serve over rice or eat on its own as a soup. I had a friend use it as a topping to a baked potato.
