Take a thick bottom pan pour oil.. heat to a good temper .. add the jeera.. as it cracks add the curry leaves and whole red chili, give a stir... now add the onion and fry untill the onions turn transparent now add the squash ... and fry for about 2 mins ... now add the grounded paste and fry for about 2 to 3 mins .. and then add dal, sprinkle some salt and give stir.. and cook until the squash is done... serve with rice or roti.. amazing one.. I prefer a boiled egg with this curry...
