   1.Pick over the lentils for any stones before washing them several times.

   salt.
   
   5. To prepare the “topping”, heat the oil and fry the onion with the
   mustard and onions seeds, dried chillies and sliced tomato for 2 minutes.
   
   6.  Pour this “topping” over the dhal and garnish with fresh coriander,
   green chillies and mint.
