Steps
Put soaked lentils and soyabeans in a cooker with 4 cups of water.

This will take a longer time.
Meanwhile take a pan and melt the butter.
Add garlic and brown the same.
Add all the remaining spices and turn the heat off.
Open the cooker and mash dal gently.
Transfer the same to the pan.
Add some water if the consistency is too thick.
Take care that it does not turn too watery.
