My moms & aunts use grated raw mango instead of lemon juice. I am planning to make Vatli daal for the first time. Do u have an idea how long it takes to cook to dry?
My mom's recipe says dal has to be coarse ground...and it works...other things almost the same...except don't use lot of oil..just regular tadka..it always taste good...even I made it and it was alright..would like to try ur recipe too...
