1
To make the tadka sauce: warm a frying pan on a medium heat and add the oil.
2
When hot, pop in the onion and garlic, allowing them to brown and crisp at the edges.
3
Add the ginger, chillies and all the seeds, then turn up the heat until the seeds jig and hop in the pan.
4
Add the tomato, frying for a further 34 minutes until the ginger has softened and the tadka has dried a little.
5
Season, take off the heat, cover immediately to retain the spice hit and leave to cool.
6
To make the daal: soak both types of lentils for 15 minutes, then drain and rinse.
7
Put in a pan with the water and bring to the boil.
8
Add the garlic, turmeric, chillies and sugar, cooking for 2530 minutes until the lentils have lost their shape and look mushy.
