Preparation steps
1.
Cook the lentils in pot with 1 l water. Add the turmeric and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper and simmer on a low heat for approx. 10 minutes with the lid half off. The lentils should still be slightly firm.

Mix together the onions, garlic and ginger. Heat the clarified butter in a large skillet and fry the mixture until light brown. Add the ground coriander, cumin and the rest of the cayenne pepper and stir in the curry paste.
3.
Mix in the potatoes and the tomatoes. Quench with 250 ml water, bring to a boil and allow to cook on a low heat for approx. 10 minute with the lid on.
4.
Add the lentils and a little salt and cook for a further 5 minutes - if necessary add a little more water.
5.
Season the potato dhal with salt and cayenne pepper. Mix most of the coriander into the dhal and serve immediately garnished with the remaining coriander.
