An easy peasy everyday Daal or Indian Lentil Curry or Stew is one of the bestest options for mealtimes on any given day. It is the best and the cheapest source of good and essential Protein. Infact it can be made and relished each single day without getting fed up of it. That's the magic of simple and delicious comfort meal of Indian homes. Almost every single home would definitely make (Daal) and enjoy it on most of the days.

However this particular Daal that iam sharing here is an incredible one with an innovative idea by me. I have incorporated mixed Microgreens in it for a yummy change. The idea did work out and the final look and flavour profile were both so very awesome. It's a simple everyday Daal made in most of the homes with the basic Indian condiments. But when this was given a twist with the healthy Microgreens, it was an excellent source of Protein and Vitamins. You can use any Microgreen you want but I have used a mix of White Radish, Pink Radish and Fenugreek Microgreens. You would definitely love it once you get to taste it. I have already made it 3-4 times until now and each time, it just made me fall in love with it. A refreshing and a delicious Daal that goes well with both Rotis and Rice.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
