DAL

Dal is a part of our lunch/dinner.  Some people like the consistency of dal very watery, some semisolid and medium.  I like it in a running consistency at the same time not watery.  Dal can be prepared in various methods here I am presenting a mix dal of masoor and moong dal with some onion and tomatoes.
