  1 1/2           cups  chana dal or yellow split peas -- picked over, washed
                        -- and
                        drained
  5               cups  water
     1/2      teaspoon  ground turmeric
  2        thin slices  unpeeled ginger
     1/4      teaspoon  salt -- up to 1
     1/4      teaspoon  garam masala
  3        tablespoons  ghee or vegetable oil

 slightly ajar, turn heat to low, and simmer gently for one and a half hours or
 until the dal is tender.  Stir every 5 minutes or so during the last half hour
 of cooking to prevent sticking.  Remove the ginger slices.  Add the salt and g
aram masala to the dal.  Stir to mix.

Heat the ghee in a small frying pan over medium heat.  When hot, put in the cum
in seeds.  A couple of seconds later, put in the garlic.  Stir and fry until th
e garlic pieces are lightly browned.  Put the chili powder into the pan.  Immed
iately lift the pan off the heat and pour the mixture into the pot with the dal
.  Stir to mix.
