[DevenderAroraExperiences]

Salt is so common in cooking that everybody know and reminding ... Recipe is great but video may miss most important ingredients that's OK ... We all know that

This is not regular Dal Fry. This is customized.
Dal fry is usually made with Toor dal only. People who like it spicy DONT PUT Moong and Channa Dal in Dal Fry. Adding Moong and Channa makes the Dal sweeter.

I just made this recipe and my wife didn’t eat a single spoon as we are spicy fans and it tasted sweet.
