    1/4 ts Turmeric
      2    Fresh green chillies
           Chopped

----------------------------------TOPPING----------------------------------
      2 T  Oil or ghee

  1.Pick over the lentils for any stones before washing them several times.
  
  2.Boil the lentils in the water with the ginger, garlic, turmeric and
  chopped green chillies for about 15-20 minutes until soft.

  should be similar to that of a creamy chicken soup.

  salt.
  
  5. To prepare the "topping", heat the oil and fry the onion with the
  mustard and onions seeds, dried chillies and sliced tomato for 2 minutes.
  
  6.  Pour this "topping" over the dhal and garnish with fresh coriander,
  green chillies and mint.
