Daal

Daal is suitable for a lazy day cooking...:) its much more simple than u could actually imagine, at the same time very healthy and tasty. Daal is at its best with Basmati rice, good with chapatti also,  as it is quite thick in consistency. Yellow daal is plain and simple, you can customize it with the ingredients of your choice of taste.
