Start by soaking both dals overnight. Trust me, this makes a world of difference. It shortens the cooking time and makes the dal easier on your stomach.

To get that signature creamy consistency, let the dal cook on low heat for as long as you can. If you're short on time, a pressure cooker works too!

Here's where the magic happens: make a tadka with ginger, garlic, and onions in ghee, and pour it over the dal. That's what takes the dish to the next level.
