Daal Mash

 

Daal is a lentil curry popular in most of South Asia and the Himalayas.

Daal Mash is made with white urid lentils. Urid lentils are traditionally black, but for this recipe, the dry lentils are peeled and split.

Daal Mash is a rather dry curry with not too much liquid, so you can easily eat it with roti. It’s based on a sauce made of tomato and onion in which the lentils then cook. Since there’s not much water involved, the lentils stay firm.
