DAL CHAWAL


Daal Chawal is a Pakistani dish that is also common in India. lentils. It is quite a simple dish but delicious.
There are many types of lentils green peas, white peas, red lentils, black grams beans and many more. Lentils are boiled and cooked with a mixture of spices and  then at the end given a ‘tarka’ of spices. These spices are mixed on pan in oil or ghee and then poured at the top of daal. It gives daal aroma and a mixture of flavours. Daal is also cooked in mud utensils and it also changes its taste.
It is served with boiled rice, naan, roti. You can also add cumin seeds in boiled rice.
Some people eat daal chawal with hands some use a spoon and some people also use fork, everyone has their own preferences. Daal Chawal is also good for weight loss as it is low in carbs and high in fiber.
The best daal I had was from a road side restaurant named ‘Mian jee restaurant lalamussa’. They have their own signature recipe and they are famous for their daal.
Daal is served with salad, pickle, raita to spice it up.
