Goes with anything. Rice, biryani, or just drink it. Make it spicy for that cold day or make it mild if your kids love it. Don’t forget to add pickle for extra spice

A few mustard seeds (optional)
3 cups of yellow dhal (yellow moong dhal is what I use or some people use split peas)

Small piece of cinnamon stick, one clove, one cardamom (I make my own powder and grind all of this into powder
