Here we are replacing meat, fish and vegetable with pulses.

  3. Heat a pan with 2 tsp of refined oil. 
  4. Sauté the onion and then add the chopped onion.  Add salt to taste.
  5. Lower the heat and simmer with a cover, until the tomato is cooked thoroughly. If water dries off add 1 or 2 tsp water to make a spreadable sauce.

Prepare the topping:

  1. Take one small bowl of mixed pulses.  Wash and soak for about 6 hours or overnight. 
  2. Cook it with cup of water and ½ tsp of salt in a pressure cooker for 2 minutes. It should be cooked.
