Dal
Cold Winter's dayA bowl of dal is a comfort food. It brings warmth to a cold day, after a snowstorm, in NYC. My friends are always asking me for this mouth-watering recipe. A Delicious and Comforting Bowl of DalDal is a split pea, lentil or bean dish cooked in a massala ?spice? mixture, which creates an aromatic entre full of complex and addicting flavors. It took me 3 trips to India to figure out how to make this special dish. The key to making a basic North Indian dal is in how you layer spices and other ingredients. The taste of one of my favorite dals, Tarka dal, is particularly dependent on how you layer.
