Method : Pressure cook toor dhal and set aside. Boil vegetables (drumstick, potato, carrot, peas and beans) with little turmeric powder. Take the butter milk and mix the ground paste without forming lumps. Now in kadai add oil, let mustard seeds splutter. Now add onion and curry leaves and fry for a while, add brinjal fry and let it cook, bring together the cooked dhal, boiled vegetables, butter milk masala and cook for a while. Add salt to taste and serve hot with rice and papads.

PS : This goes too well with Dosa.
To all my diet conscious friends if u notice it has no tamarind and very less oil.. Healthy cooking to all J
