Can’t recommend it enough.

Here’s the recipe I use but I have suggestions. First being, they consider garlic optional or as a sub for ginger but I do both and double the suggested garlic quantity. Second, try using olive oil. It’s delightful. Third, simmer it a lil after adding the dal. Also if you have the means, do the special tadka. It adds a lot

edit: I also personally think potato would be amazing in this but have never tried it.
