A South Indian dish, usually made with some kind of vegetable and lentils, this is a light and flavorful side for rice/qunioa or roti! For a change made this dish with cauliflower and since our kids love any type of Dal, its a nice way to sneak in any kind of veggies for kids đ! And best of all, one pot meal - the Instant Pot way !
