Wash and soak dal for 20 minutes. In the meanwhile make fresh ginger, garlic, green chilly and coriander seeds paste.
Add 3 cups of water, chopped tomatoes, onions, turmeric power, salt and few drops of oil and pressure cook dal. I took 2 whistles.
Once pressure cooker cools down open it and boil dal for almost 5 minutes. Afetr 5 minutes switch off the heat.
Now burn the charcoal form both the sides on stove top till it becomes red hot. Put it in the steel bowl and drop some butter or ghee on it. This will make charcoal smoke.
Now gently put this bowl in dal, cover the cooker. After almost 4-5 minutes slowly take the bowl of the cooker with the help of tongs.
Now heat the pan at medium heat and add oil, butter, whole red chilly, cumin seeds. Add freshly made garlic paste, saute continuously and cook till raw smell is gone.
Add red chilly powder, Kashmiri chilly power and sweitch of the heat. When you are ready to serve put this tadka in hor dal.
Serve dal tadka with with rice , rotis or parathas. Tastes heaven :p
