pour oil to a pan and heat it.

Fry them until the dals turn golden.
Then add garlic, chilli and curry leaves.
Stir fry until garlic turns fragrant.
Drain the water from moong dal and add it to the pan.
Cover and cook on a low heat until tender.
If needed sprinkle water in between.
The moong dal must be cooked well but not mushy.
This takes only a few minutes as the lentils are presoaked.

When the lentils are tender and done, add salt and turmeric.
Evaporate any excess moisture in the pan.
Add the dill to the pan and stir fry until the leaves wilt.
