Steps:
- Combine the dal, turmeric, garlic, chili, onions, tomatoes, brown sugar, salt and 4 cups water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently, and cook, covered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Partly uncover and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, until the dal is tender; turn off the heat. Use an Indian mathani (see related article) to purée the dal for about 1 minute; the dal should be saucy but not soupy.
- To make the tadka, heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cover the pan; let the seeds pop and sizzle. When the popping begins to subside, add the ginger and cook until lightly browned, about 15 seconds, and add the curry leaves, if you're using them. Turn off the heat and stir in the cumin.
- Pour the tadka into the dal; stir gently to combine. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

Tips:
- To make the perfect split green mung beans, use a pressure cooker. This will save you time and ensure that the beans are cooked evenly.
- If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can also cook the beans in a regular pot on the stovetop. However, this will take longer and you will need to watch the pot carefully to make sure that the beans don't burn.
- To add flavor to the beans, use a variety of spices, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. You can also add vegetables, such as onions, tomatoes, and carrots.
- If you want a thicker soup, mash some of the beans before serving.
