Steps to make Simple Toor Dal/Phodni Cha Varan/ Arhar Ki Dal:

  3. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When they crackle and splutter, add star anise. (star anise gives a very nice flavor the dish, however adding it is optional). Add asafoetida. Now add chopped garlic, curry leaves, green chilies and dry red chilli. Saute the garlic till nice and aromat.
  4. Add the finely chopped onion and little salt and saute till the onion is translucent and soft. Add chopped tomatoes and saute till they soften. Season the mixture with turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander cumin powder. Saute the spices till they are nicely roasted.
  5. Add the cooked and mashed toor dal and mix well. Add water and salt. Bring the dal to boil for 2-3 minutes. (Do not boil the dal longer, it will lose it taste).
  6. Add chopped coriander and mix well and boil. The simple toor dal or phodina cha varan is ready to serve. Serve it hot with rice, roti and subj for a complete meal.
