Hi Aarthi, I was a bit hesitant about this recipe because I felt how the taste will be due to the black urad dal. But since it is healthy for girls, I thought I should give a try. It was a quick and easy recipe to make. It turned out so well. The taste was very good. Everyone in my family liked it. I have decided that I should make it often. Thank you for sharing a healthy recipe.
Thanks Aarthi, for a very tasty and healthy recipe. I really enjoyed it!
