3. Put the mashed potatoes in and mix in 2 cups of water as well as salt to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes and if needed, add a little more water.  Add in the red chili powder, ground turmeric, crushed cumin, lemon juice, and tiny bit of coriander. Mix and then turn off the stove, cover the pan and let it sit for a little bit.

This is the finished curry/dal.

METHOD FOR VEGETABLES:
