    Hi Christy! your Raw Banana Thoran came out very tasty. But I added handful of scented rice instead of dal. And also added 1tbsp of ghee from the top. It is a complete meal and can be called brunch. Thank you.

    Sorry,it shud be 1/2 cup mashed yellow moongdal(optional)-if u try this with rasam,add moongdal and 1/2 cup mashed toordal shud not be added to the thoran.
