Steps

2 hours

1

Wash the black urad dal throughly for 3-4 times (scrub it well with your palm), soak it with enough water overnight. Pressure cook the dal with enough water on a low flame for 5 whistles. Save the water in which the dal was boiled.
2

Heat ghee in a kadhai, add the dry red chillies, ginger garlic paste, asafoetida and cook it well for 3-4 mins.
3

Next lower the flame, add turmeric powder & red chilli powder, add very little water so that the masala doesn't get burnt, cook it for another 2-3 minutes.
4

Make a puree of 3 tomatoes,and add it to the masala, cook it well for 5-6 mins in a medium flame.
5

Next add cumin powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder & salt and cook the masala well in a low flame for 5-7 mins, add little water so that masala doesn't stick to the pan.
6

Now add the boiled dal, mix it well with the masala, add the water in which it was boiled, add some butter, mix it well. Now cover and allow it cook for another 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally in between, add some hot water if the water dries out.
7

Lastly add some dry roasted kasuri methi, garam masala powder, some more butter and again cover and cook it for another 7-10 minutes and it's done. Garnish with some cream and coriander leaves.
