Lauki Anardana Dal Curry

I couldnt stop myself adding anardana seed powder in my recipes nowadays,i love the slight tanginess given by this anardana seed powder whenever they are added in a dish..This time i tried out this dal with lauki, few spices along with moongdal,masoor dal... this dal curry tastes awesome with slight tanginess and goes prefect for lunch with rice and papads, loved this dal and enjoyed even with rotis for our dinner..I prepared a special spice powder by dry roasting coriander seeds, peppercorns, cumin seeds, dry red chillies, grated coconut and anardana powder..This spice powder spiced up prefectly this dal curry and turned out this dal bit dark coz of the addition of anardana seed powder...Sending this dal curry to CWS-Anardana Seeds guest hosted by Jayasri,event by me..
