Ingredients

Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
Garam Masala1/2 tsp
Saltto taste
Onion1, finely chopped
Tomato2, chopped
Green Chili2
Cumin Seeds1 tsp
Ghee3 tbsp
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Yellow Lentils (Toor Dal)1 cup, rinsed
Green Mango1, peeled and grated

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

1
Rinse the yellow lentils (toor dal) in several changes of water till it runs clear, then pressure-cook with turmeric, salt and plenty of water until completely soft.
2
Whisk the cooked dal till smooth-ish and keep it loose — it thickens as it sits.
3
Warm the ghee, drop in cumin and mustard seeds if using, and let them pop before the onions go in.
4
Build a quick masala of the green mango in the tadka pan, let it sizzle into the ghee, and stir it through the dal.
5
Finish with a second tiny tadka — ghee, red chili powder, poured sizzling over the top — and a shower of cilantro.

Chef's tip

The final sizzling tadka poured over the top is non-negotiable; it is the aroma.
