Directions:

Cover daal with water and soak 30 minutes. If using a pressure cooker, reduce soaking time to 10 minutes.

Discard soaking water in a large saucepan or pressure cooker. Cook 50 minutes by conventional method or 15 minutes in a pressure cooker. If using red lentils, cook 30 minutes by conventional method or 10 minutes in pressure cooker.

Puree daal with a hand-held electric blender or in a food processor. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and asafetida. Cook until cumin seeds turn golden brown, about 1 minute.

Add to the daal and bring to a boil. Stir in chilies, salt, sugar, turmeric and tomatoes. Lower heat and simmer uncovered 5 minutes.

Remove daal from heat. Stir in cilantro and yogurt or lemon juice and serve immediately.
