Method

Wash all the pulses (kathols) and soak them in enough water overnight.
Drain, add 2 cups of water and pressure cook for 3 whistles or till all the pulses are cooked. Keep aside.
Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid.
Heat the oil in a non-stick kadhai and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and asafoetida.
When the seeds crackle, add the red chillies and ginger-green chilli paste. Sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
Add the cooked pulses along with the water, tamarind pulp, jaggery, chilli powder, turmeric powder, besan mixture and salt, mix well and simmer on a medium flame for 5 to 7 minutes, while stirring once in between.
Serve hot with rotlis and rice.
