Daal Kanda (डाळ कांदा )

Daal Kanda is an authentic maharashtrian recipe which is an 'all-time-favorite' in the most of the households specially in Satara region. Nothing tastes better than Bhakri and thecha with this easy to make spicy variant of daal. This is my Mother-in-law's another specialty which i love to eat even when i am not hungry.

You can also carry this when you are traveling. so here goes the recipe:
