    Hi there,
    The recipe sounds so tasty, i will try it soon.However, I have a question: are chana dal and urad dal cooked or raw? I thought that all pulses or lentils must be cooked in order to be edible and not to cause any digestion health problems? I am confused, so will be grateful for some enlightenment 😉
    Thanks, Monika
