     1/2  kilogram      mutton or chicken
                        salt to taste
     1/4  teaspoon      haldi

   1      cup           dal channa presoaked
     1/4  teaspoon      ginger paste
     1/4  teaspoon      garam masala
   3      tablespoons   oil

Preparation:

Fry the onion in oil till it starts to turn brown. Add the spices and meat and let the water dry. Then add the presoaked dal and 2 glasses of water. Cover and leave on low heat to tenderize. When both meat and dal have softened add ginger and gram masala. Tharka : Fry a few slices of onion in a little oil and when brown add along with hot oil to the dish. Garnish with fresh dhuniya leaves and chopped green chili. Serve with lemon. TIP: If cooking chicken boil the dal beforehand because chicken does not take that long to tenderize whereas the dal takes a long time. (unless you want chicken Halva)
