Thank you Sathya for your kind words. Yes. I started helping my mom in the kitchen and slowly learnt the recipes. Then I started collecting recipes whenever I taste a different food. I will try the recipe in my own way and if I find it is really good, I will post it here.

Yes. You can use green chilli. However, red chillies give more flavour to the dal.
