Now add mango pieces, toor dal, onions, chilli powder and turmeric powder in a cooking vessel and cook till the dal becomes tender. (If you want you can do this in a pressure cooker also. 2 to 3 whistles are enough)
Switch off the stove.
Allow it to cool for 10 mins.
Then mash the cooked items and keep aside.
Now take a separate pan and heat with 4 tsp of oil.

When they start to crackle add cumin seeds, curry leaves, chopped onions and asafoetida.
Saute till they turn into golden brown colour.
