Method:
Once my friend made this for a Potluck and it was so tasty that I had to ask her the recipe. When she made it she has mashed it properly, I like little bit of chana daal texture so didn’t mash it properly. I hope you will also enjoy this recipe as much as I enjoyed it. Thanks Sonia for sharing your recipe…

2) Add all chopped vegetables(eggplant, carrot, potato), tomatoes and channa dal and mix well.
