Step 5: (if you want the dal watery, you can add hot water according to your preference)The next step is to temper the dal

Step 6: Heat ghee in a tadka pan and add mustard seeds, red chili powder, asafoetida, dry red chillies and salt

Step 7: (You have already added salt while boiling the dal, so make sure that you add extra according to your taste)
