Spicy Dal

I didn't had much of the vegetables to do any curry,except for some dal.I had to do something to go with my pulkas.This is the best option I could come up with.I used Toor dal ( pigeon peas) with 2 tablespoons of Chana dal  for the spicy dal
Freshly roasted and ground spices give it a nice flavor. Try this even with Basmati rice.
