Three In One-Lima Beans-Dal-GreenPeas Tomato Curry

First of all i want to say a big "Thank you" to all my friends for your lovely birthday wishes.Today i am going to share with you guys a simple recipe which I used for preparing three curries. I hope that now you got the idea of the title Three in one..don't confuse with the name..It means 3 curries with a recipe but the main ingredient is different.They are: Spilt mung dal,Green peas and Lima beans. The mung Dal-tomato curry is the one I used to prepare for chapati and rice. But when i tried the same recipe with lima beans/Butter bean( always prefer to use the Lima beans for veg-fried rice and veg kurma.)and green peas it came out nicely and we really liked the curries. Nowadays I got 2 more vegggie varieties in our menu. The best thing is that it is very simple and good combo with rice and chapathi. I think sometimes our trial will end up with  new dish to our daily menu.
Don't forget to try this dishes sure u will love all these. Let me explain how we can prepare this simple and delicious curries:
