8 cups of “lentils” medium/large pot with 4:1 water ratio, bring to boil


Meanwhile, add 2 cups of ghee to medium saucepan, over high heat, you want it hot enough to almost burn the garlic, when hot add cumin, stir for 30 seconds, stir in garlic/onions, add 2 TBSP tumeric, stir for 1-2 minutes until soft/cooked and pour into boiling dal


Add the 6 cups of shredded carrot at the same time, salt and pepper to taste


Let it come back to a boil (2-3 minutes) and then cover and simmer at least 1-1.5 hours til serving, check its thickness depending on how long the simmer and add water as necessary (bring to boil when adding 2 cups of water, then simmer again).
