Both the tur dhal (known as red lentil or split pigeon peas) and the split moong dhal (known as petite yellow lentil) are rich in protein, both of them provide fiber and  carbohydrate, they have good amount of calcium, magnesium and potassium, they are low in saturated fat and cholesterol free.
Combine these two for this dhal, perk up the flavor with ginger, embed lycopene into it by addition of tomatoes, and devour with Potato-Fenugreek leaves flat breads (aloo methi rotis)
