2
Beat the dal with a wire whisk until silky, adding hot water to a pouring consistency.
3
Warm the ghee, drop in cumin and mustard seeds if using, and let them pop before the onions go in.

Fry tomato with the red chili powder until it collapses into the fat, then pour the whole thing over the simmering dal.

Chef's tip

Salt the dal after it softens — early salt can keep the skins tough.
