I used this recipe as a guide, and made a few alterations due to what I had on hand. I was making a half recipe, so I used a small onion; I didn't have turmeric; and I used jarred minced ginger. I also still used the full can of tomatoes (fire-roasted) despite halving the rest of the ingredients. Cooking the lentils in chicken broth adds a little richness, but it's easily done without. Do make sure to rinse the lentils very well. It's a really good basic red lentil dal recipe - I serve it over brown basmati rice and with a tablespoon of yogurt on top to help cut the heat a little. It makes a TON - maybe I don't eat that much, but the half-recipe I made will feed me for at least six meals, not four. It's also quite good with a hardboiled egg sliced up on top.
