A Little Story Behind This Recipe

I have very beautiful memories attached to this dish. This was my Daddy’s favorite dish, and we had it every weekend. My husband has grown to enjoy this daal since I began making it with my mother’s recipe after we married. This dish is quick and simple to make with just a few ingredients, and I have to say that the baghaar/tadka and garnishing make all the difference. We occasionally had Shammi kabob on the side, which is, in my opinion, the perfect accompaniment to this dish.
