Notes

  1. You can make it with only one variety of dal if you wish too.
  2. Adding green gram is optional , but i would suugest not to skip it.
  3. You can add curd chilliĀ  or dry red chili for tempering instead of fresh green chillies.
  4. Adding chopped ginger to the tempering enhances the taste of the dal.
  5. Adjust the number of green chillies as per your spice tolerance. I have used mildly spicy ones here.
