Pudina paruppu(Mint dal)

I love mint for its color, flavor and its nutritional value. I end up making mint pulao or chutney all the time. Suddenly I had this idea of making a dal with mint. I couldn't wait to try this out. People who like a lot of flavor in their food would love this. Its an easy way to make kids eat mint too.This goes well with rotis and rice...... check it out!!!
