Dal Fry

Dal Fry and Jeera rice are my family favorite meal. Whenever all my family members get to gather, all of them want dal fry. It is quick to make so we can spend more time playing cards, board games, gossips, laughs, and talks :))) Its best for cold winters as it can be cooked to be very spicy. I guess in every home they have their own dal fry recipe and I am sharing mine here.
