 onion - lemon salad

When the lid open, mix  lentils well with ladle. Adjust  salt and add 2 cup of  water  and  boil it again ..Turn off the flame.  
Keep the consistency of daal  as per your liking. I like  thick daal so I keep it that way.  

 Mango pickle

Garnish it  with green coriander  chopped leaves  and pour out some  pure ghee to enhance the flavour of daal . Enjoy it with plain rice mango pickle, and salad.
