Add onion, green chillies, coriander, ginger-garlic paste, cumin, asafoetida and salt to the split dal and mix all the ingredients well. This gives the bhajis an excellent taste and aroma. Heat oil in a pan and drop small balls of the mixture. Fry on medium flame until golden. This keeps the bhajis crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
