First-order Type-II Dahl for 6

Rescaled from 4 servings.

A Masoor Dahl (not that it makes it any clearer to me). Really good, but looks like its going to be dreadful until the very last minute. When I found this recipe it claimed it was for 8. I'm not sure for eight what but probably not full sized people. Besides, what are you doing making dahl for if you can't eat several kilorams of dahl in a sitting?
