Pour oil in a frying pan(kadhai) and heat, take some dal in your hand and break as many round Pakoras that will fit in the pan. Turn over the Pakoras regularly and fry till they turn brown. Fry all the dal Pakoras in this manner and keep them on a plate.

For preparing curry, heat 2 tbsp oil in frying pan, keep a low flame. Roast Heeng, Jeera and Methi in hot oil, then put turmeric powder, green chilly and red chilly powder. Add the Kadi curry to these spices , continuously stir Kadi as you cook it on a high flame till it comes to boil.
