Dals or Lentils need to be included in our daily diet due to its nutritional value and is a great comfort food for many. They can be prepared in many ways, in combination too. This is my version of Chana and split Moong Dal Fry.
Do prepare this delicious dal fry, to be had with any Indian bread or rice. I first boiled both the dals along with onion, ginger and green chilies and then tempered with cumin seeds, asafoetida, garlic and tomatoes. This gave the dal a very good flavour.
Adjust the water accordingly if having with rice and you can relish it accompanied with some pickle and papad for a simple and a light wholesome meal. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this great comfort dish.
