Cooking
In a separate pot, on low heat, add oil and curry leaves, mustard seeds, fenugreek, and whole red chili, if using until fragrant and mustard seeds start cracking.
Add chopped onions and cook till golden. If using fried onions, cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add ginger/garlic paste and cook for a few minutes making sure it does not burn. Add water at this point. If the pan is too hot your spices might burn.

Add the blended dal and mix together. Simmer on low heat, for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend together. Add water if desired to make dal with a thinner consistency.
