This is my mom's recipe and her fav dal.My mom cooks this dal with 2cups of water on a slow flame,until cooked.This goes well with hot rice and avakaya(mango pickle) and can be eaten with hot rotis.You can replace red chillies with red chilli powder.I want the dal in yellow colour so i didnt use red chilli powder.
