Anusha, omg, this is the same gal who had ‘green gram dal bhaji’ way back when on another blog called My Cuisine!??! I had noooo idea you were the same person till I was just going through old links and came across the old post. I found that so long ago when I first was blogging and I wanted to ask you that recipe — but the blog wouldn’t let me comment. Now I can check for it here!

Kala chana patoli is new to me, but I love kala chana so will certainly try sometime. Looks lovely!

I am alergic to most of the dals…sanaga pappu, pesara pappu, chole beans except the kommu sanagalu that are in dark brown color.

Are these the same ones? You know the ones we use for Ganesh pooja prasadam sometimes?
Could you please let me know? If yes I am definetely going to try this…this could be one more source of protien that I can eat among dals. Thanks!
