## Tips

- Remove the foam from the dal while cooking. This foam is not good for health.
- Use Kashmiri red chilli powder for better color and less spiciness.
- Add salt to the tomatoes while sauteing to make them soft quickly.
- Don't finely chop green chillies for tadka, this way it looks nice.
- Soak the dal for 30 minutes before cooking. This ensures that dal cooks well and becomes soft.
