I think the dal u are mentioning is palak made with moong dal(pesarapappu)the same one I tasted in Bhimas(blore)u can check out for the recipe in dals in my website but u can use moong dal instead of toor dal if u want the same taste as the restaurant one.
Hope that helps u and the chutney I am unable to guess with the color u mentioned.

Hi Thanks for the compilation.
I was wondering what was the for (telugu) Vaakaya ( which tastes like cranberry but whch is more green outside and atinge of red on the skin) tastes sour. We telugus make vaakaya pappu, Vakaya coconut (chutney) pachadi. I think this berry is only available in August thru November. I have seen this berry even in Bombay vegitable markets.
I want the Hindi, Tamil, Kannada or Marathi equivalent names for this If in English all the more better (even Botanical name is fine)
Thanks in advance
