1/4 ts turmeric (Huldi)
2 green chili chopped
2 tbs fresh coriander shopped
1 ts level garam masala
For Bhagaar (Turka)
1/4 cup oil or ghee
2 cloves finely chopped garlic

Drain the dal and put it in the cooking pot with water salt, red chili powder and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until dal is very tender. When dal is cooked it should look like creamy soup (you may have to add more water if the lentil is not creamy ) and cook for further 10 to 20 minutes.
To make the bhagaar, heat oil in a frying pan add the garlic and fry until light brown , at this point add zeera and fry for few seconds and pour over the lentil and stir and cook for few minutes.
Pour in a serving dish and garnish with coriander and green chili.Sprinkle garam masala over it.
Serve with plain boiled rice or chapati.
