Wash the daal a few times until the water runs clear. Cook daal, water, and salt (and turmeric if you want) in an uncovered pot for about 20-30 minutes or until its the consistency you like. When the daal is almost done cooking, heat oil in a separate pan. Saute ginger and garlic for about a minute, stirring occasionally. Add in the tomatoes, salt, and paprika. Cook for five minutes then add to daal. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, stir, and enjoy!

** When cooking the daal, try to use a tall pot because it tends to get really foamy.
