For the most part I like to keep my side dishes simple and healthy. Carrot on its own sometimes feels bland and lentils always come to my rescue. They jazz up boring dishes so well and is healthy too. You could use toor dal also, but channa dal holds its shape and I preferred that for this curry. Off to the recipe.
