Masoor Dal Gravy

Hi everyone, I am here with a quick and tasty side dish for rotis. These masoor lentils are so new to me. I came to know about these lentils only after coming to States. We usually eat chapathis for dinner as we always follow strict diet routines at home. Not all days, we can grind onions and spices to make an exotic sabzis. Hence i used to make this gravy when i need to spare time for some other household works. You can also try this simple and spicy gravy at your home:)
