*Tempering is a cooking technique used in the cuisines of Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, in which whole spices (and sometimes also other ingredients such as dried chilies, minced ginger root or sugar) are roasted briefly in oil or ghee to liberate essential oils and thus enhance their flavors, before being poured, together with the oil, into a dish.
Directions
Step 1
Boil the soaked lentils, chopped tomato and turmeric in a pan for 25-30 mins with 2 cups of water till tender and mushy. The lentils can be crushed a bit to produce thicker and more mushier result. Place the lentils in a bowl. This can be done in an instant cooker or pressure cooker as well.
