Procedure :

First you make the jamuns as the way I have described in my gulaab jamun recipe. Now in a kadhai add daal, water, turmeric, chilly powder, salt and sugar. Let it start boiling. When the daal starts boiling, reduce the flame and mix it thoroughly. Now cover it and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Next add cardamom, cinnamon and cover it again. When the daal is done, add lemon juice to it and remove it from the flame. For the tadka, mix 1 tsp ghee, jeera, hing and kasuri methi and heat it for 1 to 2 minutes. When jeera will start spluttering, add it to the daal and mix well. Now serve the daal in a bowl and place one or two jamuns on top of it.
