Dal Fry in Slow Cooker

I just started a Dal Fry in the slow cooker.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup moog dal, rinsed twice
• 4 cups water
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 4 tbsp canola oil
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 1 heaping tsp minced garlic
• 1 heaping tsp coriander-cumin powder
• 1 heaping tsp turmeric
• 1 heaping tsp salt (or to taste)

 Heat oil and in a frying pan and add mustard seeds. When the seeds start popping, add onions and saute until translucent. Add coriander-cumin powder and turmeric and saute for 30 seconds. Add to the slow cooker. Add the dal, water, tomatoes, garlic and salt. Cook on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours (or until the dal is well-cooked).
