Method

1. 1

   Pour the leftover dal tadka into a small saucepan and heat over medium flame, stirring occasionally, until it is piping hot throughout — about 3 to 4 minutes. Add a splash of water if it has thickened overnight, and taste for salt.

2. 2

   While the dal heats, spoon the leftover jeera rice into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, or warm it in a separate pan with a teaspoon of ghee over low heat, breaking up any clumps.

3. 3

   Thinly slice the onion half into half-rings and roughly chop the coriander leaves.

4. 4

   Plate the warm jeera rice in a bowl or on a plate, ladle the hot dal tadka over or alongside it, squeeze the lemon half over the dal, and top with the sliced raw onion and chopped coriander. Serve immediately.
