Carrot Dal Recipe with step by step pictures. Delicious carrot dal made with moong dal and spices.
Carrot Dal Recipe
Dal is one of the stable of the south indian , moreover it is a stable dish in my house. But usually my mum makes it in the same way, which is by boiling the dal and making a paste of coconut and some spices and adding it to the dal. She won't even forget to make a simple tempering too. But when I am cooking, I personally want each of my food to be unique and different. Even from the Basic dal to the complicated Malabar paratha.

Hi,
Great recipe! So, we don't add salt before cooking mainly because salt increases the boiling point of the solution (dal-veggies-water mix). Therefore, time required for cooking (ie reaching boiling point) is much higher!
