I got this recipe from my friend when I was living in London. I tasted this dhal for the first time at his place and Ah! I became a fan of his cooking. He used to make great bhindi and everything I know he can cook. I am sharing his home-style dhal recipe here for all. The fried masala powders in ghee and pressure cooking mung dhal in pressure cooker with hing/asafoetida just gives a unique flavor and taste to this dhal. My kitchen just smells awesome after this dhal preparation each time and I never switch-on my vent fan to let the aroma linger .... LOL!
