This is a simple Parsi Daal recipe. I tasted this daal at my friend, Nilofer's home. This is her mom's signature dish. If you love garlic, this is the daal for you. It's very mild but packed with garlic power. It tastes very well with plain rice or jeera rice.

Tempering

Method
1. Pressure cook daal adding asafoetida and turmeric powder.
2. Pour the cooked daal in a saucepan adding about 3/4 cup water. Bring to boil. Add salt.
3. In other small saucepan, heat oil. Add cumin seeds, chili and garlic. Fry till garlic is deep red. Do not let it burn.
4. Transfer the tempered oil in the daal. Switch off the gas.
5. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Cover the lid.
6. Serve hot with plain rice or jeera rice.

Note
1. For the authentic taste, use 1 tbsp amul butter instead of 1 tsp olive oil.
2. You can make a variation of adding minced shallot (small onion) instead of garlic, for a different flavor.
