Recipe media keeps inventing a Tuesday identity. Most kitchens need a pot of dal that tastes like itself and does not create a sink full of extras.

Cook the lentils until they collapse. Temper cumin, garlic, and chilli in ghee. Finish with lemon. That is dinner. The rest is content.

If you batch it on Sunday, you are not meal-prepping for the internet. You are buying Wednesday back.
