hi i came to read your thread .you can use this for masala vada .

actually this is used for vada in hotels and resturants in india.

hope you know to prepare masala vada.

 

I think you bought matar dal? You can make a nice dal out of it Also you can mix it with any greens that you prepare.

Some also make the dal vada with this. I personally did not like the taste of it :mrgreen: but you can give it a try..

 

You can make a nice soup which you simmer for an hour or so or you can use a slow cooker. You can add veg like carrot chunks, tomato pieces, sliced cabbage, and season with salt, black pepper, marjoram or use Indian seasonings.

At the health food store here they make a very very good soup mix that is equal parts of yellow split peas, green split peas, whole lentils, split red lentils, brown rice and some American wild rice.
