Hello everyone
Now mash it a little with laddle to get dal and water mixed well. But don't over do .
Now heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok , add heeng followed by cumin and mustard seeds. When they crackle add red chilli then onion. Fry till onion become little brown then add all dry masalas followed by tomatoes. Fry till tomatoes and masalas start leaving edges of wok. Finally add green coriander leaves and mix. Immediately add the tempering in dal and mix well. Then cover it for 5 mins then serve.
For more flavour you can use ghee instead of oil for tempering or add a dollop of ghee while serving.
If you don't get ready made mixed dal pack then add whatever whole variety dals and beans( moong, urad, chana, rajma, black eye beans, chawli, chickpeas, matar etc) you have in hand according to your choice .
This is so simple yet delicious side dish goes well with roti or rice. You can also add it in any party menu and can replace dal makhani without bothering anyone.
