Dal fry

Another simplest form of dal, Dal fry. It is made with moong dal, which is healthier, as in easily digestible. Just basic tadka + onion + tomato + garam masala + cooked dal - dal is ready! Tastes heavenly!

Serve it with a sabzi, you got yourself a wholesome meal ready in 30 minutes.

I got this recipe from a blog I follow on FB, which has many short and sweet interesting video recipes.
