Quoting myself from another thread:
Red lentil daal is cheap and delicious too. Real easy to make.
Wash the lentils in warm water (from the tap) in the pan 3 or 4 times, once washed, put enough warm water in to make the water about 2 inches above the top of the lentils. Bring to the boil, scoop off the scum from the top and let it simmer for about 40 mins or until the consistency of the daal is to your preference. Season at that point and allow to simmer while you finely slice 2 cloves of garlic and 2 chilies (or substitute chilies for chili flakes). Put the sliced garlic and chili in a tiny tiny saucepan, cover with veg oil (as in cover so they are submerged), fry until garlic is a good golden colour, add all the oil, garlic, and chili to the lentil daal. It's best to keep the lid handy, so dunk the whole tiny saucepan in the bigger saucepan and put the lid straight on otherwise there will be a mess.
Serve. Job done. Delicious. Cheap.
I think it works out to about 30p per person per serving.
