5 Dhal Subzi

I made methi roti the other day and was hunting for side dish. We can have roti with yogurt and pickles but I wanted to make something different. Thats when my co sister called and she told me about this 5 dhal recipe. Her mom cooks this dish and it is everyones favorite in her house. And now it became our fav too.. Its made out of 5 dhal and it goes well with roti, puri, idly, dosa, rice and what not.. Its healthy and at the same time tasty. It took me so long to post this recipe.  I was busy with the regular routine and I posted other dishes but dint get a chance a to write this dish. Today I wanted to post this one by hook or crook. Getting to the recipe, below are ingredients you will need...
