This looks great! I love that its gluten free and vegan!
Can you help me out here- I'm not Indian, so these different names of lentils is getting me confused. Can you translate these ones:
Chana dal, Moong dal, and Toor dal? I went to a store yesterday that sold indian ingredients but the sales person there didn't know anything about lentils to be able to tell me what was what...

I can't find the three Dals at my store. Am I able to get their English names please? I would love to make this for my family as it sounds wonderful!
