- Both urad dal and rajma must cook to very soft.If not then pour another half cup water and continue to cook for another 20-25 minutes on a medium heat..
- Heat a heavy bottom pot with butter or oil. Add cumin and allow to crackle. Then add hing, ginger garlic and green chilli. Saute until aromat..
- Next throw in the onions and fry until they turn golden. Then transfer tomato puree, turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn mushy..
- Add garam masala and coriander powder. Saute well again until the masala leaves the pan. Pour the cooked lentils along with the stock..
- Stir and cook on a a low flame until the dal thickens. I cook for about 60 to 90 mins stirring often in between to prevent burning the bottom. Slow cooked dal tastes best. You will need to add half cup water when ever the dal thickens. It may need about 1 to 2 cups water more as and when needed..

- Cover and cook till the tomatoes start breaking down and the mixture starts leaving oil at the edges. Switch off the flame and set aside to cool..
- Once cool enough to handle, fish out as many whole spices as possible, and blend the mixture to a smooth paste..
- In the same pan or kadhai, heat the remaining butter and add the curry paste. Add garam masala powder, chilli powder, turmeric, ketchup, salt along with 1/2 cup water. Bring this to a boil..
