A neutral, lentil dish that complements any other curry or gravy.
:::info
This recipe uses brown lentils (Whole Masoor Dal), as well as their hulled (red dal) and split (split red dal) forms.
The whole dal retain their consistency, and the hulled and split dal thicken the gravy. Both are recommended to be used.
Some substitutes for the whole dal can be done, I have used whole mung beans (Green Moong Dal) as a replacement, and any split dal can be used instead of the split red dal.
