Lentil Dhal
Description
I love all vegetarian recipes but this dhal recipe is one of my favorite. It is a quick and easy dinner. I like to serve it with basmati rice and garnish it with slivered almonds and avocado, fresh tomatoes and sprouts or green peas and pumpkin seeds. If you like indian flavours, cury and spices you’ll love lentil dal.Ingredients
