A Healthy and Delicious Winter daal ..
Always my comfort food – Daal.

With the bad cold outside and me down with bad throat, I just yearned for a bowl of Daal but, wanted something strong in it. So, I packed up my plain daal with a tadka of only these spices – ginger , garlic and pepper in ghee.
Ginger , garlic and pepper made a lot of difference to tadka. If you feel that peppercorns would not feel so good when you have to chew it so, just freshly grind them in powder just before making this dish. Same can be done for ginger and garlic .. just make a paste of it. But be careful not to burn it while tadka. I really wanted to chew them all so kept it whole. Also this daal when we consumed it the next day (with overnight in refrigerator) , the flavour of spices made it taste much stronger and no doubt delicious 🙂
Here’s my recipe, try it out.
