  • Cover and cook it for few minutes till it becomes soft.

  • Add salt and spring onion leaves to the cooked dal. Mix the spring onions very fast and cook it for few minutes.

  • Once cooking is done, remove it from the heat otherwise the dark color of the spring onion leaves will become pale and it 'll lose its crunchiness.

  • Squeeze lemon before serving. This dal is usually made little thick as an accompaniment to chapathis/phulkas.

  Masur dal is orange in color but becomes yellow 
  once cooked. 

                       

        Masalas can be added according to
                      one's    taste.
