Instructions

  1. Wash the dal, soak it for 30 minutes, then add it to a pressure cooker with water to cover and 1/2 tsp turmeric. Pressure cook until 4 whistles, then let it cool.
  2. Chop the onion, ginger, green chillies and tomato, and slice the garlic finely.
  3. Heat 3 tbsp oil in a pan. Add the asafoetida, then the cumin seeds. When they splutter, add 1 tsp red chilli powder, stir, then add the onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft.
  4. Add the ginger, garlic and green chillies and fry for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the tomato and 1 tsp salt, mix well and fry for about 5 minutes until soft.
  6. Add 1/4 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp coriander powder and 1/4 tsp garam masala, mix and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add the boiled dal and mix well. Cook for 3-4 minutes until it boils and thickens. Adjust the salt, adding some water if needed.
  8. Stir in the chopped coriander leaves.
  9. For the tadka, heat 1 tbsp ghee in a small pan. Add 1/2 tsp cumin seeds and let them splutter, then fry the sliced garlic until light brown. Add the dried red chillies and stir until they change colour.
  10. Turn off the heat, stir in 1/2 tsp red chilli powder, then pour the tadka over the dal and mix well. Serve hot with rice or roti.
