What you'll need..
  • 1/2 cup toor dal (Split pigeon peas)
  • 1 Large tomato, finely chopped

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.
  • Bring this to a boil and then simmer on low heat for 6-8 minutes. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve hot with rice.
