In a cooking vesseli, put the oil, and heat it, then first fry the onions till they turn brown,
then the minced masala till they change color, and
then the tomatoes, and when the tomatoes loose their color,
add the dhals and fry for some time, stirring them.
Then pour the tamarind mixture, into the dhal, and put more hot water, till the level comes 1" above the dhals and boil.

In the end, there should be some gravy in the dhal.
