Post pressure cooking the dal- arrange for the rest other ingredients & keep it all ready & handy

Heat up a frying pan/wok/kadhai, over the medium flame: Add in the equal measures of the oil & ghee, goes in the dry red chilli, cumin & mustard seeds & after a minute- the curry leaves

* Step 4

Let them all splatter & turn aromatic- Add in the chopped onions, pounded garlic & green peas & chillies- sauté until translucent, goes in the chopped tomatoes, sauté until soft & mushy

* Step 5

Now, once done: This is the good time to add in the tamarind pulp & some sugar/jaggery to balance the sourness of the same, add in the boiled dal at this point & some more warm water to make it a bit thinner

* Step 6

Give it all a really good mix until everything’s nicely combined and well incorporated... allow it to cook for about 5-6 mins time on the low-medium flame with the lid on, checking the seasonings & adjust- if at all required

* Step 7

Add in the chopped coriander leaves, mix it well and again cover & cook for another 5-6 mins time before serving it piping hot...Garnish with some more chopped coriander leaves on the top
