1/2 lb Masoor Dal (Pink Lentils)
1 sm Cauliflower
2 md Onions, finely chopped
1/2 c Ghee or Oil
1 t Ground Chili
2 ts Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Wash the Lentils well and drain. Heat the Ghee or Oil

soften add the Chili, Pepper, Cumin, Coriander, and
Turmeric. Stir in well and cook for 30 seconds or so.
Add the Lentils. Stir well to ensure that each grain
is coated and add the Lemon Juice. Cut the Cauliflower

Stock and the Coconut. Bring to the boil and simmer
for 20 minutes. Mix the flour with some of the liquid

until the Lentils have formed a thick sauce. This dish
is a complete meal in itself when served with plain
boiled rice.
