Gujarathi Dhal

My Son loves Dhal and Peanut. For me given option I prefer to have something else other than dhal (for iddiyappam, pongal etc..). Today my son was not feeling well and wanted something light to go with Chappathi. I saw this recipe from Mallika Badrinath thought this wouldn’t be bad. It is also well balanaced with the addition of peanuts. This is dhal with no onion and garlic.
