Tips
It might not come out well the first time. Try it twice or thrice, and you'll be a master of Bisibelebath (or BBB for short). Don't overheat and get your dish charred. You can vary the quantities and try it out.
Warnings
Be careful while preparing "Tadka", as it involves heated oil. Avoid it if you think you can't manage it. The dish tastes good even without that.
