## Notes

* firstly, if serving dal with roti then make slightly thick dal.

* also, adjust the amount of spice depending on the spice level.

* additionally, if you reduce the soaking time then you may have to increase the pressure cooking time.

* finally, **ma ki dal recipe** tastes great when slow-cooked.
