Ingredients Serving: 8

1 cup chana dal (bengal gram split )
1/2 cup urad dal (black gram skinned )
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 1/2 tsp salt

1 small tomato finely chopped
1 garlic clove finely chopped

1 tsp cumin seeds

Instructions

First soak the chana dal and urad dal separately for about 15 - 20 minutes.
In a pressure cooker, add 2 cups of water and chana dal. Add salt and turmeric powder. Cook until 2 whistles and turn off the gas. Let it cool.
Add soaked urad dal into the boiled chana dal, cook until 2 whistles.
For tempering - take a pan, add oil or clarified butter into it. Once the oil begins to get hot, add cumin seeds and whole red chillies.
