Gujarati Dal

Gujarati Dal

Gujarati Dal

Gujarati Dal is a Gujarati’s staple food. Gujarati Dal is very important part of Guajarati thali or meal. This basic khatti-meethi Gujarati Dal is very healthy and full of protein. Gujarati Dal tastes delicious, mild sweet and tangy, that’s why Gujju people called this dal is khatti-meethi dal. It’s normally had with bhat (boiled rice) and called dal-bhat. Dal-bhat is a one of my comfort food from childhood. This Gujarati Dal is a best served with plain rice and a dollop of ghee.

    I love Gujarati dal! Thanks for the recipe. Is there a reason why you added turmeric after boiling the dal? We generally add it into the cooker before boiling.

Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and ha Sprouted Moong curry is healthy, nutritious and has an excellent fresh flavor with full of protein. They can be cooked in several ways, I made this in coconut gravy. You just need to soak whole moong bean overnight, then drain it and left it in a warm place with covered cloth, so that they can easily start sprouting. It is a delicious, quick and one pot curry. It can be eaten with roti, steamed rice or paratha.
