Mung Bean Dahl

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup split hulled mung beans
3-4 cups water
1 tsp � 1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
INSTRUCTIONS:
Sort and wash the mung beans. Drain. In a heavy-bottomed pot, add the beans, turmeric and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil; then turn heat down to medium/low and simmer-cook until dhal is butter-soft (about 30-40 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and add more water as needed to maintain desired consistency. If foam forms on the surface, skim it off and discard. When cooked, add salt and stir. In a separate pan, heat ghee until melted to a clear oil. Add the cumin seeds and stir to release aroma. The cumin should turn a rich dark brown but not burn. Pour the ghee-spice mixture carefully over the dhal. Stir and serve immediately with boiled Basmati rice or other whole grain and vegetables.
