Once the Dal is cooked in either of the ways- slow cooked or pressure cooked and ingredients ready. Heat ghee in a kadai. Add the garlic first and saute it, no need to brown. Add the onion and saute it when it about to start turning brown, add in the ginger garlic paste and saute it. Add turmeric and Chilli powder too. Add little water to prevent the spices from burning and bhunno it further.

Add the tomato and bhunno it, add salt too. Cook till the ghee seperates from the gravy. In the process add the chopped spring onion too if you are adding it, else skip. Add in the cooked Dal and cook further for another 20-30 minutes, till the Dal thickens up and flavor gets infused. Check consistency of the Dal, adjust accordingly. Check salt. In the process of cooking add butter & Garam masala too. Serve hot with Roti/ Paratha or any flatbreads, it goes well with rice & Jeera rice too.
