Or 'mother's lentils', a famously rich and creamy Indian creation also known as dhaabe ki dal.
A dhaaba is a roadside diner, often no more than a shed with a hot clay oven and a few charpais for the truckers passing by. The only selling point is the food, and it is not uncommon to see Hondas and Mercedes parked next to the trucks, all equally helpless in front of the dal's magical lure.
The recipe is here. I substituted the butter and cream with whipped plain yogurt. The only butter in this dish is in the garnish, drizzled on top of the slivered ginger.
