2 ways:

The simple:
1 cup Arhar daal, washed
3 cups water
1/2 tsp haldi, salt, 3 dry red chillies

boil. u may need to add more water if you’re not using a pressure cooker.
When boiled, add tarka of oil, zeera, slided 4-5 garlic pods and a tsp of red chili powder

The masala way:
to the same amount of daal and water, add haldi, mirchi, salt, and a paste made of 1 roma tomato + 1/2 onion + 4 garlic pieces + 1" ginger piece
When cooked, add tarka of zeera, curry patta, a few garlic slices and green chillies, and a tiny bit of deghi mirch for color

What is the consistency of your daal? Thin and soupy or thick?
