The hot dogs with dal and red onion raita were good, but not great. The dal was a bit bland and the raita was too sour for my taste.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! I especially liked the red onion raita, which was a nice change from the usual ketchup and mustard.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The dal was creamy and flavorful, and the red onion raita helped to cool things down.
