Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add in the whole jeera and allow it to crackle.
3

Add in the finely chopped ginger and garlic and saute for a minute.
4

Add in the chopped onions and saute until translucent. Add in the chopped tomatoes and saute for a minute.
5

Add in the drained dal and mix well. Cook for a minute or two.
6

Now add in the dry masalas - salt, Kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and hing. Mix well.
7

Add in 2 cups of water. Mix well. When it starts to boil, lower the heat and cover it with a lid. Cook on low heat until the water dries up. Stir occasionally. Do not add extra water. There should be a bite in the dal.

When the water has dried up, finish it with the juice of one lemon. Mix well.
