In the recipe card, green chillies paste is mentioned whereas in the video, green chillies are chopped and added! So we have an option not to make a paste,right? Actually,I am making this dal today😊

N.B. Earlier I had mentioned that cumin powder not added in the recipe card.Now I can see that it is added…Sincere apologies…Kindly ignore my first post..Thanks
