I was a wee bit sceptical about cooking without oil/ghee. I was amazed at how it turned out, tasty, not mushy & even my wife complimented on the final product. Simple.
Suva and Moong dal, both are loaded with iron...I make this recipe quite often to improve my haemoglobin levels...goes really well with brown rice...
Very nice
