Ingredients

1/2 cup moong dal (split green gram)
1/4 cup toovar (arhar) dal
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp chopped garlic (lehsun)
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
salt to taste
1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
1/2 cup chopped onions
3 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania) for the garnish

Method

Clean, wash and soak both the dals in water for 2 to 3 hours. Drain and keep aside.
Combine the dals, tomatoes, garlic, green chillies, turmeric powder, salt and 1½ cups of water and pressure cook for 2 whistles. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid. Remove, whisk well and keep aside.
Heat a non-stick pan on a medium flame and when hot, add the cumin seeds and dry roast for about 30 seconds.
Lower the flame, add the onions and dry roast till the onions turn light brown in colour. Sprinkle a little water if the mixture starts burning.
Add the cooked dals, ½ cup of water and mix well and simmer for another 3 to 4 minutes.
Serve hot garnished with coriander.
