Happy Saturday Guys…Hope you all are getting ready to enjoy your weekend..I have just started to do it..Today we had a awesome breakfast with chapatti and green peas curry..It was delicious and good for my diet..I really loved it after 5 days of fruits and vegetables diet..The good impact from that diet is, it controlled my hunger and reduced my appetite, which is really great..
Coming to today’s recipe it is a healthy dal which is flavoured with tomatoes, cumin and all kinds of yummy stuffs..I can’t tell you how good it is for you..At the same time it taste heavenly..

    @Meena

    Tomatoes have enough sourness to give for this dish…so no need to add any more sour agents…if you wish you can add a small squeeze of lemon juice…
