Good Morning, I have everything to make this up today, all but the chillies. Is it fresh or dried chillies you use in this recipe? I have some dried ones here but no fresh chillies.

Hi Imran, thanks for sharing. Great post, as I could never make urad daal fry as my mom used to make I setled for this easier version. However, I would like to share my variation too if you do not mind? Amna.

As my family loves anything chicken I add two cubes of chicken bouillon and boil the daal till its tender. For seasoning I use whole cumin seeds, red pepper, green chillies and whole black peppers. Garnich with some thin slices of fresh ginger and coriander. Comes out phenomenal.
