    There are a number of different kinds of lentils but urid lentils "mash ki daal" is very popular in the Punjabi cuisine. I’m super-fond of these little pulses; they’re high in fibre, full of good protein, low in calories, basically fat free, quick and easy to cook, ludicrously cheap, substantial, versatile and delicious...and this recipe we are sharing today is so simple, so quick and so good, hope you like it. INGREDIENTS: step one "boiling urid lentils" urid lentils 400g salt 2-3 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp water according to pan step two "masala" oil half cup garlic 10-12 cloves ginger 3-4 inches piece tomato 3/4 cup crushed salt to taste red chili powder 1 tsp turmeric powder 1/2 tsp garam masala 2 tsp chopped green chili 1 tbs fresh coriander one small bunch ( about one cup chopped) for garnishing ginger green chili lemon step 3 "tarka" vegitable oil 1/2 cup nigella seeds 2 tsp cumin seeds 2 tsp dried red cili 1 tbs chopped.
