## Notes

* firstly, make sure to soak the dal else it will take a long time to cook.

* also, if you have enough time, cook on low flame for 2 hours to get an authentic flavour.

* additionally, the spice is attained just with chilli. if you are adding chilli powder then reduce green chilli.

* finally, **langar wali dal recipe** tastes great when served hot and slightly creamy texture.
