Dal Shorba

I recently had a Dal Shorba at Underground Indian in Dallas. It was so delicous I had to find the recipe. Here is a lovely shorba made with the much loved yellow moong dal. The use of green chilies and chilli powder makes it a spicy treat though you can adjust the spiciness according to your preference. You can add any chopped boiled vegetables to this shorba and make it a healthy treat for the whole family.
