  • 1/2 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
  • 2 medium tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon kashmiri lal mirch powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon haldi powder turmeric powder

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves

Instructions

  • Start by soaking the mash ki dal in water for about 1-2 hours. Drain the excess water after the dal has been soaked.
  • In a medium sized pot, add the oil, and saute the onions until golden brown. Now add the tomatoes and fry for 1-2 minutes on high flame.
  • Add the spices, and cook this masala for about 10 minutes on high flame while stirring constantly.
  • Once the tomatoes have cooked through, and you can see the oil separating from the curry, add the mash ki dal (urad dal).
  • Add about 1 cup of water and cook on medium low flame. You will need to keep adding water little by little until the dal cooks through.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander, ginger and green chilli.
