  1. Looks delicious Nayna.. I have never tried this combo.. made with toor dal in South Indian style and chana dal in Sindhi style which is called Sai Bhaji.
    I am going to make it soon 🙂

  2. Looks great, I put spinach in everything just now, I love how it just melts into the dish. Your styling in this shot is very good too, have bowl jealousy!
