Method:

1. Cook dal completely in pressure cooker adding around 1-2 cups of water, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder. Pressure cook for 4-5 whistles.
2. Allow steam to escape before opening cooker lid. Blend dal till smooth.
3. Once cooked dal is ready, heat oil in pan. Add mustard seeds. Wait till they crackles.
4. Add cumin seeds, asafoetida, ginger garlic paste. Sauté them.
5. Add Shepu and salt. Sauté it well till it gets shrinked. Add turmeric powder.
6. Add cooked dal along with water. Let it boil.
7. Meanwhile, start rolling thin chapati. Cut into small pieces with knief.
8. Add these pieces one by one in boiling dal. Do not add all at a time because they will stick to each other forming a big lump.
9. Cover the pan. Let chapati pieces cook. This take around 15-20 minutes. Check if those pieces are cooked.
10. Remove from heat once cooked and serve hot adding ghee.

Tips:

1. Tuar dal can be replaced with any other dal(moong dal) which suits you.
2. Add more water if dal starts thickening while cooking.
