Masoor Dal is a split lentil that is red in colour. It is a soft dal and cooks quickly. Once it cooks it changes colour into mild golden. It is rich in protien and an important portion of diet in many parts of India. Masoor Dal needs to be soaked for not more than 4-6 hours in cold water. Discard the water as this will help in removing the substances that cause indigestion. Masoor Dal Dosa is a quick and easy recipe. I learnt this from my friend Priya.

Masoor Dal - 1/2 cup
Urad Dal - 1/4 cup
