Toovar Dal with Vegetables

Toovar Dal with Vegetables is a wholesome dish, full of vegetables and protein-rich dal. You need not stick to the veggies I have used -- just open your fridge and throw in anything you find. You will love the fact that such a tasty and sumptuous dish can be prepared with just about no oil! Remember to add the jaggery and tamarind, as they provide a much needed twist to cover up the plain taste of dal.
