Take the oil in the skillet.
When the oil is hot add chana dal, urad dal,mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Give a stir. And add hing(asafoetida)
When the mustard seeds are spluttering and the chana dal s getting brown add green chili and give a stir.

Cover and cook for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
After a few minutes when you check, you will notice that ginger garlic paste loses the raw flavor.
