Great cooking is about being inspired by the simple things around you–fresh markets, various spices... It doesn’t necessarily have to look fancy!🤷‍♀️
Today's preparation is a combination of two lentils, black gram split and Bengal gram split (urad chilka dal and chana dal). This combination is very usually consumed in our daily lives. As we all know that pulses offer a variety of health benefits, such as improving digestion, aiding weight management and reducing the risk of several diseases. These deals are packed with protein, and also good quality fibers.
So this was all about nutritional advantages! And when it comes to taste, this combination of dal and rice is one of my favorites! #dal
