    I cooked this tonite and I must say it turned out to be amazingly delicious..!! Just a suggestion that when u pressure cook the dal, u may wish to add all or few of the veggies like cauliflower, potatoes, green peas, corn, green beans, drumsticks and brinjal. Will be delicious and gud for health too. As a matter of fact, U may use Ghee instead of oil in the tadka.
