                 Mustard seeds 1/2 tspn
                 Cumin seeds 1/2 tspn
                 Chana dal  1/2 tspn
                 Urad dal 1/2 tspn
 Procedure:
      The bottle guard should be tender .pierce the bottle guard with thick needle or any other instrument.Cut it into medium size cubes.Here v require more chopped onions as we require for non veg curry.the onions should be  well chopped  .

            Heat oil in a kadai n add garlic cloves to it..let it sauté  until its aroma come out then add broken red chillies to it. Let it sauté for few seconds n add cumin n mustard seeds to it. when the mustard seeds start splitting add chana dal and urad dal to tadka..let it sauté until  chana dal turns in to little dark in color.
