You may have to visit a specialty shop to find mung dal (split yellow lentils), masoor dal (split red lentils), and asafetida, but once you've stocked up, you won't be far from this classic indian comfort food. Using a pressure cooker makes it fast and easy to prepare for a crowd. Served as a healthy entre, this masala dal goes just as well with hot chapatis as it does with plain rice. Throw in a salad or a vegetable side dish and you've got the perfect vegetarian meal
