An easy one pot dish done in a matter of few minutes. This is a fabulous way to cook this versatile Lentils and Vegetable stew from South India. I personally prefer this method since it has all the benefits of retaining important Vitamins and Minerals without over cooking and destroying them in the process. I have used practically many Veggies but the choice is always yours regarding this. This is also a time saver for all the busy women out there and tastes fabulous.
Enjoy Cooking with Zee!

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.
