Moong Dal (Yellow Lentil)-type Dish

This is an interesting Dal dish that came out a bit drier (almost rice-like consistency) than I imagined, but it was tasty nonetheless. This is adapted from a Vegetarian Times recipe to my taste and to my available ingredients.

Ingredients:
About 1TBSP of Canola Oil
A thumb sized piece of Ginger, minced
2 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Moong Dal(Yellow Lentils), rinsed and sorted
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tsp. ground turmeric
sea salt to taste

1. Heat oil in pan, add ginger and red pepper. Saute for about a minute.
2. Add onion, garlic and salt, saute for another minute.
3. Add all other ingredients and cover.
4.Reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes, when liquid is absorbed.
5. Let cool. Insert into mouth. Chew. Swallow.
