cuisine icon Notes
["Moringa leaves will make dal cook slow or little uncooked, so cooking long time will give best results around 15 to 20 mins.","Don't use stalks of moringa, as they are tough.","Easily remove the moringa leaves by running the stem in between two fingers, the leaves will come off easily.","Spinach can be substituted instead of Moringa leaves.","Yellow lentils can be replace with red lentils."]
