2. Once dill leaves are sorted , chop them roughly so that they are not whole . 
3. Next , heat oil in kadai . Once it is hot , add tadka items - mustard seeds , haldi , hing and fry tadka nicely.
4. Once tadka is hot enough , add finely minced garlic and fry it till the raw garlic smell goes away . 
5.  After couple of mins , add the soaked and drained split moong dal and stir everything well . Ensure that moong dal is not sticking to kadai . 
6. Stir for 1 min and then add chopped dill leaves . Mix it with the tadka nicely and add salt as per taste .
7 . Let this cook for at least 3/4 mins and then add red chilli powder and coriander powder . 
8 . Give couple of stirs and continue to cook in medium to low flow for 5 mins . Just check nothing is getting stuck to kadai .
9 . Lastly , give it a nice stir and ensure everything is cooked well.
