Notes : 1.You can prepare this dal by including all 3 varieties of dal, ( toordal, moongdal and chana dal ) But I personally prefer adding only toordal.
2. Don't make this dal too watery, it should be little thick.
3. While adding lime juice make sure you have discarded the seeds or else the dal will turn bitter.
