Wash the toor dal under running cold water till water runs clear.
Soak the dal in enough water for at least 30 minutes.
Then discard the soaking water. Add dal to pressure cooker with turmeric powder and 1 ½ cups of water.
Close the lid, put the weight on, turn the heat on medium.
Pressure cook it for 3-4 whistles. Let the pressure go down by itself then open the cover.
Add another 1 cup of water or as required. Mash the dal well so it will smooth. I have used hand blender, you can use mixer or magic bullet.
Now turn the heat on medium and let the dal simmer.
Now on another stove, heat the oil in small tadka pan.
Once hot add mustard seeds and let them pop.
Then add green chilies and curry leaves. Cook for 30-40 seconds.
Immediately add the tadka to the mashed dal. Mix well.
Add other ingredients one by one. Add jaggery, tamarind paste, goda masala and salt.
Mix well and let it simmer for 10 minutes on low to medium heat.
Then turn off the stove
