Spicy dal tadka

This recipe is inspired from a restaurant in my home town.
Preparation: Cook toor dal. I usually cook toor dal with 2 and half times of water in a pressure cook for 3 whistles.

Ingredients:
1. 1/2 cup of cooked toor dal (split pigeon peas)
2. 1/4 cup of chopped onion
3. 3 garlic pods, crushed
4. 3-4 curry leaves
5. 1 tsp of cumin seeds
6. 3 tbsp oil (save 2 tbsp for final seasoning)
7. 2 tbsp red chilli powder or per your taste
8. 2 tsp garam masala
9. 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
10. Salt to taste

Method:
1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan
2. Splutter cumin seeds and add curry leaves
3. Stir for few seconds, add onion and garlic and fry until onion is translucent
4. Add garam masala, salt and turmeric powder and cook for a minute
5. Now add the cooked dal and mix. Add some water if needed. Make sure it is not as runny as sambhar.
6. Cover and boil for 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat.
7. Meanwhile, in a separate pan heat the remaining oil, turn off the heat as soon as the oil is hot enough.
    Add red chilli powder to the oil, and add this mixture to the dal.

Serve with roti or rice.
