First, mix all the lentils in a mixing bowl and wash them thoroughly with water. Then, soak them in water for half an hour. After that, put one teaspoon of oil, one glass of water, and all the lentils in a pressure cooker and cook for three whistles.

In a pan, heat the ghee. Once hot, add the pieces of dried red chilies and cloves. When the cumin seeds crackle, add the asafoetida and sauté the onion.
