Boil a cup of masoor (pinkish orange one) daal with 4-5 cups of water (because it swells up a lot), 2-3 chopped tomatoes, a tbs of lemon juice (I prefer this to imli), some haldi and salt. When tender, mix with a hand blender to get it to a smooth consistency.
For the taRka, fry one chopped onion, zeera, sabut red chilli, green chillies, mustard seeds and kalonji seeds and curry patta. When brown, pour over daal.
yummmmmmmmmm. SO making it this weekend!
