Keep the flame high while frying dal.
Dal has stared floating on the surface now we will take it out.
For this place a sieve on top of a plate and then take out in it so that excess oil drains out in plate.
Now we will fry Mysore dal.
Take out the dal when it starts floating on the surface.
We have fried the dals.
It took 3 minutes for frying Mysore dal.
But it took 3.30 minutes for frying chana dal.
Moong dal takes 2-2.5 minutes for frying.
