  • Bring dal to boil in cold water and remove scum.
  • Add the rest of first set and simmer for 30 to 60 minutes slightly uncovered. Consistency should be slightly thicker than pea soup.
  • Heat ghee over medium flame, add cumin and fry a few seconds until cumin starts to turn darker. Add coriander and quickly transfer mixture to dal. Watch out, the cumin burns quickly!
  • Stir in 3rd set and serve.
