Now add finely chopped onion and grated ginger. Let the onion fry till it turns brown then add Kasuri Methi to it. Now add pulses to this tempering. Cover and turn off the gas. After turning off the gas, add coriander and lemon.

Later add finely chopped tomatoes and kasoori methi. Fry all these well on high flame and add dal. After turning off the gas, add coriander and lemon.
