Simply Delicious Daal

Story: I had this daal at a pot luck - sometime last winter. Seemantini got it along with other items.. I liked the daal so much - I can't even remember what else was at the pot luck. The best part is the simplicity of the recipe.. Don't you love a recipe that you can easily make during a weekday, even after a long tiring workday? So here it is - recipe for the famous - Seemantini Daal :-)
