Dhal Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of red lentils
2. 2.5 cups of water 
3. 1 tablespoon of turmeric 

Instructions:

1. Soak your lentils with water and then drain the water out to remove excess starch.
2. Wash your lentils with water at least twice. 
3. Now take your lentils and put them in a pan (a small pan is ideal). Add about 2.5 cups of water to your lentils and a little turmeric.
4. Now cook your lentils until they boil and are cooked and soft  (about 10 minutes). 
5. Now turn the heat from the stove off and then cover your lentils with a lid. Give this about 5-10 minutes.
