#Dal - A simple dal-chawal is my ultimate comfort food. So here I prepared spring onion dal. There is nothing fancy about this dal. It is just a simple homemade style lentil preparation made with some spring onion and tuvar dal (pigeon pea lentil). It is cooked with few basic ingredients that is easily available in the kitchen. This yummy side dish goes absolutely well if paired with any form of rice preparation or Indian bread for a wholesome meal.
