#Dal - This is a very old and a traditional recipe from Himachal Pradesh that is almost lost. People outside the state are not very much aware of it. Teliya Mah is a yummy and a creamy lentil curry made of whole green gram, yogurt, milk, cream, etc. So a rather rich dish. It can be relished with either rice or chapattis.
