6. Place the pressure cooker back on heat and cook till the mixture slightly thickens.
7. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick pan. Add cumin seeds and when it changes colour, add curry leaves and let it crackle.
8. Add green chillies and sauté. Add asafoetida, remaining chilli powder and remaining garam masala powder and sauté for 30 seconds. Add cooked split Bengal gram mixture, and mix well.
