Add 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, and 1/4 teaspoon garam masala. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
8
Add the cooked peas dal to the pan and mix well. Adjust the consistency by adding water if required. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
9
In a separate small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 2-3 dry red chilies, and a pinch of asafoetida. Fry for a few seconds.
