Lentils: Ghee or mustard oil, cumin, asafoetida, finely chopped garlic, finely chopped onion, green chilli, tomato and Kashmiri red chilli powder.
Heat ghee/oil and crackle cumin and asafoetida. Then fry the garlic until it turns golden.
After this add onion and green chilli and fry. Add tomatoes and a little salt and melt. Finally add Kashmiri red chilli and immediately turn it into dal.
