This was my first time cooking for myself and this recipe was a life saver. Thank you for posting this. It's easier to find complicated recipes online because apparently everyone wants to be a gourmet chef but I was just trying to figure how to make some daal to go with my rice and I had become increasingly frustrated until I found your recipe.
Thanks. I'll try to add some more simple recipes pretty soon!
This was very good - thanks for sharing :)
