Re: Daal Chaval..
I made Palak Daal yesterday and it turned out great although I was sick of the usual daal flavor so i altered the recipe a bit
Instead of just using Moong Masoor combo, I used a packet of Soup Mix which you can get from the grocery store.
Boil it with water with Namak, mirch haldi for half an hour
Blend it with hand blender to give it the right consistncy
Add 3 table spoons of tomato paste to the daal and one teaspoon of powder zeera
Add palak and then do the tarka
The tomato paste gives it a nice texture and flavor.
