Heat the ghee in a separate pan. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida. Add finely chopped garlic and lightly fry. If desired, you can also add some onion and Kashmiri red chili. Pour the prepared tempering over the cooked lentils and mix well.
6. Garnish and Serve
Garnish with coriander leaves. Your mixed lentil, moong, and pigeon pea lentils are ready. Serve hot with roti or rice.
