An excellent innovative twist given to the yummy Hyderabadi Khatti Daal by me using Yellow Lentils or Moong Daal along with Drumsticks. The rest of the process remains the same. All you need is to follow the same procedure. It tastes equally yummy and becomes even more nutritious due to the Drumsticks. The colour also is appealing with a lovely yellowish hue. It actually tastes a lot more better this way.
It is okay once in a while to steer sway from the authentic recipe and give it an amazing twist. It does not mean that the authenticity of the dish becomes any lesser. Thus it is a simple try from my side which iam sharing with you all today. So let's get down to the recipe right away.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
