Heat oil in a pan. Temper with dry red chilies, bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves, ginger, panch phoron and turmeric powder. Saute for a few seconds.
Add the boiled dal, green chilies and salt. Bring it to a boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes on a low flame. When done, switch off the flame and add the ghee. Give it a stir.
