First, we will take gram dal in a vessel, and we will wash it well. After that, take out the dirty water from it and add good water, and keep it soaked for 1 hour.

Till the time our dal is boiling, we prepare the tadka for the dal. Take a separate pan for tempering, put the pan on the gas and light the gas. After that put some oil in it, when the oil becomes hot, put some cumin seeds in it and roast the cumin seeds.

Roast the cumin till it becomes golden and when the cumin turns golden then add finely chopped onions and add finely chopped tomatoes and mix it well and roast it further. Then cook it on low flame for about 5 minutes.

After this, we have to add the tomatoes which we have grinded in the mixer. Then it has to be roasted and at the same time green chilies and coriander have to be added in the tempering, it has to be roasted. Now our tadka is ready.
