Step 2

1. Soak lentils in hot water to soak quickly. For best nutty texture of the curry soak them until they are 80% soft or soaked , by this you get a nutty texture to your curry or else you can soak them until they are soft and can get normal crispy texture to the curry.
2. Add more peppers and onions for best taste. Ginger is a mandatory ingredient for the taste.
3. Add salt while preparing the lentils batter so that it mixes very well and balances the tastes.
