Toor Dal with Tahini and Parsley

I found some toor dal the other day at the market at a discounted price. $1.19 for a 2 lb bag. Since dry beans are generally around $1/lb this seemed like a deal! I picked up a bag but had no idea what to do with it. The internet is my friend though and I found this lovely recipe from a blog that looks like it has some fun recipes.

I followed the recipe mostly, except I didn't add any salt, pepper, oil (just water-sauteed the onion). I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dal never thickened to the point of looking like the picture. Oh well, it was still tasty.
