Toor Dal Recipe

I made this with some naan recently, and greatly enjoyed it.

I used a jalapeño for the green pepper, which may not have been what was intended, but the flavor turned out fine.  I also used ground cumin instead of cumin seeds since I don't have the seeds and I left out the bay leaf and fenugreek.  I also left out the salt.  Other than that, I used the same ingredients.

NOTE: For a gluten-free version, make sure that the asfoetida is gluten-free (some contain an anti-caking agent with gluten).  You can also leave the asfoetida out.  It's not essential, but it does add a nice flavor.
