Rinse the arhar lentils throughly under water and then cook the daal in a pressure cooker along with two cups of water and a pinch of turmeric.

Once the cooker is ready to open, mash the daal with a spoon and prepare it for tempering.
For the tempering, heat up the ghee in a pan and add the mustard seeds.
Once these crackle, add the turmeric and asafoetida.
Once you smell the asafoetida aroma, add the curry leaves and the green chillies.
