Preparation:

1. Boil moong dal along with water, 1 tsp of oil, turmeric powder and the chopped vegetable in a pressure cooker for 2 whistles or in a closed microwave oven in high for 20 minutes.
2. Grind all the ingredients mentioned above as a coarse paste
3. After the dal and the vegetable is boiled completely, add it in a vessel, add the ground coarse paste and salt to it and bring to a boil again.
4. Make sure you don't leave it for too long as it may get burnt as it's a little thick mixture.
5. In a separate pan, add oil and mustard. Let the mustard sputter and then add asafoetida and then curry leaves and remove from the pan.
