Dalma ( Lentil Soup with vegetable)

This is good healthy and tasty dish. Puri Dalma is famous in India. This is my version of dalma which my husband loves the most. My husband is allergic to ghee so I don't use ghee in my dishes but this recipe tastes excellent when it prepared with ghee. Also you can add any vegetable as per you likes.
