1. Soak the dal in water to cover by 2 inches, about 2 hours. Drain. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds, cinnamon, and cardamom pods they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the ginger, green chili peppers, and tomatoes and stir about 1 minute.
2. Add the coriander, fenugreek leaves, cumin, turmeric, asafoetida, and salt, then add the dal plus all the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook until all the water has been absorbed and the dal is tender about 30 minutes. Add extra water, if needed. Mix in the lime juice, cilantro, and scallions, transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle the garam masala on top, and serve.
