Dal wada curry

Eating dal is healthy and most of us enjoy it every day. I love the brown lentils we get here easily. Lots of fiber and texture. I try and use a lot of it. This is one recipe I tried and my family loved it. Sharing it so that we can enjoy it in another form.  Relish with parathas or rice!

1 cup brown dal soaked (can use moong, masoor, chana)
