Khatti Meethi Dal Recipe (Sweet & Sour Dal)

While we were young my mother does her dal curry a minimum of 5 times per week. We like to have dal with rice, ghee and papad. We may have it with some spicy chilli pachadi(I’ll post soon), since that curry was so bland, however the taste was so good. Nowadays I too cook plenty of dals to make my family healthy. But my dals might be little spicier and has tons of flavours in it.
