Mint Dal

Last weekend i got three bunches for mint leaves from my farmer's market, after using two of those bunches for kurmas and pulao, the remaining bunch was sitting in my fridge to be used at any time...I was planning to make some chutney with those mint leaves but finally i finished them as dal while making dal with toor dal cooked along with onions and tomatoes...Very aromatic dal and this dal tastes prefect along with hot steaming rice topped with ghee or as an delicious side dish for rotis...I prepared this dal bit thick and its really very easy to prepare, whoever loves mint leaves much will definitely love this dal...Obviously this dal goes to Suma's  Delicious Dals From India & to MLLA-22th helping guest hosted by Ruchikacooks, event by Susan..
