Katachi Aamati ( Chaana Daal Rasam) For Arusuvai

For Arusuvai Friendship Chain Manasi send me two homemade powders. One is curry powder which is for 'Chavli Curry' from Nupur's : One Hot Stove blog and second is Masale Bhat powder which is for 'Masala Bhat' from Ashwini's: Food For Thought blog. Thanks Manasi for sending me these lovely powders. For this recipe I am using Curry Powder. Hope you all will love this recipe. I will post next recipe later.
