Hi Priya!
Sounds like a nice recipe. I’d like to try it but what is Urad Dal? Can I substitute it with something else?

  Thank you, Urad dal is a type of lentil, usually used for grinding idli batter and mostly used for tempering in South Indian cuisine. If you don’t have urad dal in hand, feel free to skip it.
