Onion : 1/2 (Finely Chopped)
Garlic : 3-4 pods (Finely Chopped)
Green Chilli : 4
Cherry Tomatoes : 20 (Cut in Half)
Salt according to Taste

Procedure :
1. In a pressure cooker bring mix dal, turmeric and water and cook for 3 to 4 whistles. (Depending on the quality of Dal).
2. In a deep bottomed pan heat oil, add mustard, Urad dal and once Urad dal turns sligtly brown add asafoetida, curry leaves, green chilli.
3. Now add onions and garlic; cook till they turn brown in color.
4. Now add the chopped tomatoes and cook till tehy turn mushy.
5. Now add the cooked dal and salt and bring it to a boil.
