Among all Indian veg curry recipes I love Dal. Especially Mango dal, ridge gourd dal. We will call it as birakaya pappu. This is best combination for roti, rice. Really watering in my mouth after seeing this. Thanks for sharing. Best platform to learn for those who are trying to learn how to cook south Indian recipes.
