- 1/2 Tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 Tsp cumin seeds

How to..
- Boil the dal along with water in a pressure cooker till its well done.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin seeds to it and wait for them to splutter.

- Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the boiled dal and tamarind juice to it. Mix well. If the dal is too thick, add water as needed.
