Spiced Moong Dal with Caramelized Onions

1Rinse the Moong Dal (1 cup) thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.

2In a large pot, add the rinsed Moong Dal (1 cup) and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the Dal is soft and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.

3In a separate pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

4Add the Basic Masala (turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder) to the caramelized onions and cook for another 2-3 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.

5Once the Moong Dal (1 cup) is cooked, add the spiced caramelized onions to the Dal and mix well. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

6Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

7Serve the Spiced Moong Dal (1 cup) with Caramelized Onions hot with rice or bread of your choice.
