Instructions

1. Cut the drumsticks in half, peel them lightly, and cut them into medium pieces.
2. Wash the soaked toor dal and drain the water. Put the dal in a pressure cooker with the drumsticks, slit green chili, turmeric, salt and enough water to sit about an inch above the dal. Cook on high for 1 whistle, then on medium-low for 7–8 minutes or 2–3 more whistles.
3. Coarsely crush the chopped green chilies and ginger in a mortar, and dice the tomatoes.
4. After the cooker releases pressure naturally, check that the drumsticks and dal are fully cooked. Blend the drumsticks with a little water until fine, then strain the purée back into the dal, discarding the fibrous parts. Whisk the dal together.
5. For the tempering, heat ghee in a pan over high heat. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, gundu red chilies, fenugreek seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves and the crushed chili-ginger paste, and stir.
6. Add the diced tomato and a pinch of salt and cook on high until softened slightly. Lower the heat, add turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder and a splash of hot water, and cook the masala for 1 minute.
7. Pour the tempering into the dal and mix well. Bring the dal to a boil, then taste and adjust the salt. If using jaggery, stir it in and cook for 1–2 minutes until dissolved.
8. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped coriander, mix once more, and serve.
