Simple & Delicious Indian Recipes
Moong dal is one of the most popular and versatile lentils in Indian cooking. Light, easy to digest, and rich in protein, it’s a staple in everyday meals. With its mild, slightly sweet flavor and quick cooking time, moong dal is perfect for making comforting dals, khichdi, soups, curries, pakoras, and even desserts like halwa. This dal is thick and creamy, perfect for cold weather!
Dal roti is a staple food in North India. It is a wholesome food, and usually people eat it for dinner or lunch. Dhabas are roadside restaurants and dal roti is the most famous and popular dish there. Dhabas serve dals with tandoori roti (flatbread made with whole wheat and traditionally cooked in tandoor (cylindrical clay oven) hence the name tandoori). It’s almost always served with some ghee or butter on top.
Dal roti is fairly easy to make and I tried making tandoori rotis at home (using a toaster instead of the usual tandoor) and it came out pretty well. All the ingredients are typically available at home.
