You can further adjust the consistency using the reserved cooking
liquid. Check the salt & adjust if required.

Drain & reserve the liquid (this liquid can be used as stock or to
knead savory doughs). Let the dal cool to room temperature.

Transfer to the serving bowl, drizzle some olive oil, garnish with
chopped cilantro & serve along with bajri crackers.

Store refrigerated in air tight container for 4 to 5 days.

Note:

This recipe has a strong garlic flavor. You can reduce or omit garlic
quantity as per your liking.
