I tried this simple dal with some tender cauliflower leaves, which turned out this dal super delicious and we enjoyed simply with rotis, both together works out wonder and even my H enjoyed this dal with hot rice with papads..This dal goes more than half an hour to get ready in microwave oven and this dal tastes incredibly delicious,with simple ingredients this dal was definitely healthy and tasty..U can try this dal definitely on stove top, but making in microwave oven doesnt need to sit and stir often as we do always when we were cooking over stove top..If u have some works or guests, making out dishes with microwave oven is best and better way to make out foods..
