Dal in Konkani style

Once when I was surfing through the channels(usually I watch star plus serials, movies or music channels), I came across one of the show - Mummy ka magic on Food Food channel and watched the recipe that was shown. I found it very simple and easy to try, though it's another story that I did not actually try it out. But surely I got addicted to this channel :D 

These days I am full time mom and hence, I am using some time to try out with my culinary skills :) and yesterday when I again stopped at Food Food channel, it was showing recipe for toor dal in Konkani style in the show 'Ma ki dal'. Looking at the ingredients, I felt I am surely going to love this dal and tried it today. You know what even my hubby liked it a lot. So, the recipe is as follows - 

Ingredients

1 cup boiled toor(arahal) daal

2 tsp oil

4-5 thinly sliced garlic

1 small tomato finely chopped

1/4 tsp cumin powder(jeera powder)
