Dalma...Lentil with vegetables

Dalma is an authentic odia dish which is prepared mostly in every home. You can resemble this with south indian  sambhar but there is no tamarind or sambhar masala in this. In most houses in odisha Dalma is prepared on puja days as u can make it without onion garlic tempering.
I have a great taste bud for Dalma from childhood as I can have it with plain rice any time of the day.
It is one of the easy ways to use any of the vegetables in your refrigerator.

Ingredients:
Toor Dal - 1cup
1 carrot cubed
1/2 Radish cubed
2 small Aubergine cubed
3 tbsp green peas
1 green banana cubed
7-8 Broad beans
1 tomato
1 potato cubed
8-10 cubes of pumpkin
2 tbsp grated Ginger
2 tbsp coriander leaves chopped
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Ghee or any of your cooking oil
