i tried it out just a few minutes back.and i couldnt wait to tell you guys how good it is…do try it.a very easy and delicious recipe.thanks sonali.keep posting such good recipes
this dish was simply superb i tried cinnamon sticks and bay leaves for seasoning and the aroma was still more great. sonali a excellent dish hats off to u
amazing taste and textures. dont try it if you dont have the correct curry leaves- broad shiney leaves (not the skinny fuzzy leaves). the only thing i would change would be to fry the chana dal before the urad and mustard seeds. but its still great even if you dont change a thing.
Awesome
Very Good Recipe…….I tried it ….Came out excellent
