MIX DAAL
This is a healthy soupy dal that is easy to make and goes well with roti or parathas. In our house, it is generally eaten with white parathas. The daal is gently infused with garlic, ginger and spices including cinnamon and garam masala. In Inda this daal would be laced with pure ghee but I have opted for sunflower oil instead. The daal can be as mild or as spicy as one likes but it is best served piping hot.
