Dal Tadka & Jeera Rice

Yellow lentils simmered soft and finished with a sizzling tadka of ghee and spices, with cumin rice alongside. Dal and rice cook on their own timers while you build the tadka, so it all lands together. You need (serves 4): 200 g toor dal (or red lentils), 300 g basmati rice, 1 tsp turmeric, 3 tbsp ghee, 2 tsp cumin seeds, 1 onion, 2 tomatoes, 4 garlic cloves, a thumb of ginger, 1 green chilli, 2 dried red chillies, 1 tsp garam masala, half a lemon, coriander, salt.
