When I have no options left for Dal as I tried all types of Dal recipe that everyone use in every day cusine.But Masoor daal is typically used in khichadi dishes.So one day I just thought about Masoor daal and decided to try this dal in dinner and give a twist of khatta meetha like taste with some spicy flavors. And made daal, it turned out an amazing dal recipe that day and makes an entry in our weekly menu.
