You will find that this dal does not get mushy, mainly because of the blend of many pulses with varied textures. With a tempering of whole spices and seeds, and a team of ingredients like tomatoes, green chillies and ginger to add to the flavour, this dal becomes a full-fledged side-dish, which transforms even simple roti into a delicacy!
Serve it hot with rotis , rice and a sukhi subzi to make a homely and satisfying meal.

A healthy mix of five different dals .. gives a nice texture ..when cooked with basic spices and ingredients adds to the flavour. Please note that jeera has been ommited in step 4 which may please be added.Thanks.
