Day 2 of Delicious Dals, I am going to serve you Drumstick Dal. As a kid , I hated this Dal whenever mom used to make it. But now I kind of developed the taste for this yummy Dal. the best combination is with Poondu Vatha kulambu. Slurp. Had it a couple of days ago, but the taste is still lingering in my mind.

Drumstick - 2 cut into 1 inch pieces
Toor Dal - 1 cup
Red chili powder - 2 tbsp
Onion - 1/2 cup thin slices
