Khatti Moong Dal with Drumsticks

#cookpadindia #dals An excellent innovative twist given to the yummy Hyderabadi Khatti Daal by me using Yellow Lentils or Moong Daal along with Drumsticks. The rest of the process remains the same. All you need is to follow the same procedure. It tastes equally yummy and becomes even more nutritious due to the Drumsticks. The colour also is appealing with a lovely yellowish hue. It actually tastes a lot more better this way. It is okay once in a while to steer sway from the authentic recipe and give it an amazing twist. It does not mean that the authenticity of the dish becomes any lesser. Thus it is a simple try from my side which iam sharing with you all today. So let's get down to the recipe right away.
