Green gram dal is for day 7 of the blogging marathon. I initially had a different dish planned for G, but when Saras announced the ingredients for Dish-It-Out, I changed my mind. The only change that I made to the usual recipe was that I added carrots. When my MIL visited us years back, she made this side dish for rotis and I instantly loved it. There is something about the ginger and dal combo and it is also very easy to make. Should I mention that it is healthy too? 
.
Chillies and ginger are the important ingredients in this dish. Adjust those according to taste. Off to the healthy recipe.
This dish brings this month’s blogging marathon to an end and these are the dishes posted earlier.
A - Asparagus Rice
B - Buttermilk Biscuits
C - Coriander Thokku
D - Daikon Fry
E - Eggplant Parmesan
F - French Toast
