Notes
This is part of the Awadhi Thali.
This recipe requires coal and betel leaf on which ghee is poured. The coal is removed after a few mins. I skipped this step. I think the smoky effect of the coal will be missed if you skip it. However, the dal was very much liked as such because it was so creamy and rich.
