Boil dal after washing nicely in exact double water than the quantity of dal
Add salt, turmeric powder & hing in cooker while boiling.

This dal doesn’t take much time for cooking so only one whistle is good.

Make Tadka in a pan by adding zeera in ghee. When zeera turns brown add finely chopped garlic & ginger. Now add small cut onions. When they turn pink add masalas and chopped tomato.

Cover for a few minutes to let tomato get done
Remove the cover add green chilli
Be sure that tadka is nicely done and isn’t much watery.

Now open the cooker to take out dal
Use light weight ladle as this dal gets mashed easily.

Pour hot dal in a casserole n put Tadka over it.
