- Rinse Lentils Thoroughly: Make sure to rinse the lentils thoroughly under running water to remove any impurities or excess starch before cooking.
- Use Fresh Spices: Using fresh spices can greatly enhance the flavor of your daal. If possible, opt for whole spices and grind them yourself for the best results.
- Simmer Slowly: Allow the daal to cook slowly on a low heat. This not only ensures the lentils are cooked evenly but also helps in developing a deeper, richer flavor.
- Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper and other spices according to your heat tolerance. You can always add more if you prefer a spicier dish.
- Finish with Fresh Herbs: Add fresh coriander leaves towards the end of cooking to retain their vibrant flavor and bright green color.
- Lemon Juice for Brightness: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving can enhance the flavors and add a nice tangy brightness to the dish.
