Notes
- Soaking red chillies is to just get grinded easily.
- Roast the dals just till golden.
- As per the orginal recipe you can add upto 6 red chillies.But for me this itself was spicy.
- Adjust salt according to the spice level of the chillies.
- You can even add a tablespoon of grated carrot , saute and grind it as mentioned in the orginal recipe.
- Adding gingelly oil(nallennai) while tempering not only gives flavour,it balances the spice level well.
