5 Add lemon juice and chopped coriander to Dal. Pour fried garnish to Dal. Serve hot with roti or rice.

Safety Tip
* Be careful while frying the Garnish for Dal and while putting it in Dal. Some liquid might splatter due to hot oil and water interaction.

* While heating ghee, be careful not to relase too much smoke. The smoke might trigger your fire alarm.

Recpie Tips:
* Add a small amount of ghee to Dal while boiling to keep it from overflowing. It also enhances its flavor.
* The best Dals are usually cooked by slowly simmering it on low fire than cooking fast on high heat.

*Moong dal (green or yellow) can be easily cooked to be soggy like mash potato. So be careful not to over cook.
