Boil lentils with water, turmeric, and salt until soft, about 20-25 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk yogurt until smooth and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat; add cumin and mustard seeds until they crackle.

Add chopped green chilies, ginger, and garlic; sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Stir in the boiled lentils and mix well; adjust salt and consistency with water if needed.

Simmer for 5-10 minutes to blend flavors, then remove from heat.

Garnish with fresh coriander and set aside.

For pakoras, mix chickpea flour, rice flour, baking soda, salt, and water to form a batter.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove pakoras and drain on paper towels; serve hot with the kurhi dhal.
