Gram Dal Chick Pea Dal

Ingredients
 

1 cup chick peas
2 1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 cup ghee
1 pinch cumin seeds
1 pinch asafetida
1 1/4 tsp ginger, grated
1 each bay leaf

Preparation
 
Soak chick peas for at least 2 hours. Drain & rinse. Bring to a boil
in the water & add the salt & turmeric. Boil hard for 5 minutes &
remove any scum that forms on the surface. Reduce heat & simmer until
tender. This will take about 1 hour, but it can take longer if your
peas are old. When tender, remove from the heat.

Heat ghee in a large pot. Add cumin seeds, asafetida, ginger & bay
leaf. Fry for a few seconds, stirring as the spices cook. Add the
coconut, raisins & peas. Cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Stir in the cooked chick peas, followed by
the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for another 15 minutes & serve.
