The ingredients for Spicy Urad Dal with Tomato and Fennel Seeds are:

1 cup split urad dal, without skins
1 tablespoon ghee or olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 small onion, chopped
1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
1 green or red chili, seeded and minced
small handful dried curry leaves
pinch of asafoetida
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup water
1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

Here is how you make Spicy Urad Dal with Tomato and Fennel Seeds:

Rinse the urad dal under cold running water and let soak for 20-30 minutes in several inches of water. Drain and rinse again. Add the urad dal to a medium saucepan and cover with several inches of fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the dals are tender but still hold their shape. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside. Heat the ghee or olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. When hot, toss in the cumin and fennel seeds and stir for 1 minute. Add the onion and stir for 2 minutes or until the onion begins to turn translucent. Add the ginger, chili and curry leaves, and stir for 1 minute. Drop in the asafoetida, stir once, then add the tomato, turmeric and cayenne. Stir for 2-3 minutes longer to let the tomatoes start to soften. Now add the cooked urad dal and stir to coat the dal with the tomato and spices. Stir in 1 cup of water, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat the dal and let the flavours blend. Remove from heat, stir in the salt, and serve hot over a bed of freshly cooked white rice if desired or with some Indian flatbreads, such as Naan bread.Serving Size:?4
