Anu, I had this for lunch today with white bread. I used 1/2 cup more of water and also added a tsp. of corriander powder, 1/4 cup of green onions and 1/8 tsp red chilli powder. I cooked it in my AMC Dutch Oven(this does not use oil to cook anything in it), so I left out the oil. It was still good( somewhat crunchy). Next time, I'll toss in some curry leaves as well when I put in the mustard seeds and urad dal. UPDATE: In honour of your 20th birthday, I made this yday using in addition to the above ingredients, 1 medium tomato(washed, peeled and chopped) and a whole tsp. of turmeric powder. I omitted the urad dal. I didnt use any coriander powder or green onions this time. I did use 2 whole green chillies(slit). It was amazing how good this tasted.
