This time I made this chana dal little hot and spiced and  this came out just superb. This dal has some authenticity to serve with Chapati or partha or Roti. Some flavorful spices like garam masala,cumin,coriander and red chili are used here in different way. Flavor of coconut and coriander leaves are strong here.
