Firstly take one bowl of red lentil and wash it properly. When dal gets washed nicely then add water and soak the dal in water for two hours.

Now take a cooker and add dal in it, then add chopped ginger, chopped green chilli, one black cardamom, one bay leaf, ona cinnamon stick, three to four cloves. (This is our trick that we will add whole spices while boiling the dal)
Then add one spoon of desi ghee as it will stop water that comes along with whistle.
Now add water, we will add three bowls of water and salt as per taste. Mix all of them well. (Add water three times of dal, as we have taken one bowl of dal so we have added three bowls of water)
Close the cooker and keep it on gas and let three whistles come. After three whistles, turn off the gas and let the pressure out itself.
When the pressure is out completely then open the cooker and you will see dal is well cooked and aroma of whole spices will come.
Now keep a wok on gas and pour one spoon of desi ghee and let it heat. When ghee gets heated then add one spoon of cumin seeds, one pinch of asafoetida.
When they both gets roasted then add chopped tomatoes and roast them. Then add spices, so add one spoon of turmeric powder, one spoon of coriander powder, one spoon of Kashmiri red chilli powder, half spoon of garam masala.
Mix all of them well and cook them till tomatoes gets soft nicely. When tomatoes gets soft then make the flame low and then add boiled dal in it.
After adding dal make the flame medium and mix the dal nicely with masala and let it boil. Cook it by covering for two minutes so that all the things can get mix with each other nicely.
After two minutes, mix it once and dal is ready so turn off the gas. Add coriander leaves and then serve it.
