#Tips:
#1: Use Kadai to cook, as it will give you the freedom you require.
#2: I am using cumin seeds as it will help for digestion.
#3: This dish is a quick dish, especially for kids lunch box. Usually, this is made of left over rice, since I did this for the kids, I used freshly cooked rice.
#4: Chana Dal and Ground Nut are optional.
#5: This goes well with deep potato fry. I will soon post a guide.
#6: Ground Nut takes time to cook, while urad dal takes less time than chana dal and ground nut. So fry it wisely.
