At the first time I have seen this khatti daal that is looking so delicious and spicy so I will must make it at home by this delicious and easy recipe
Is khatti daal perfect for a rainy season or not? because these days it seems it will be raining. I saw it was raining in Islamabad couple of days ago. There are lots of dal recipes that are in my cooking queue.
If lentils cooked correctly, they can taste much better than a chicken cooked poorly. Love all lentils that are masoor lentil, mash lentil, chana dal lentil and so on. They offer superb taste just like a treat. That is why i love lentil recipes and cook them frequently.
khatti daal kesei hoti hai hum ne to kabhi try hi nahi ki na hi kabhi taste ki hai. pehle mujhe koi bana ke khilaye us ke baad mai sochun gi ke banau ya nahi . wese mujhe daalen itni khas tasty nahi lagti lekin kuch kuch boht achi lagti hain
I am just wondering that if chana daal was used in this recipe. I see it in dal chana category but it is quite different . It uses masoor daal. what would you say admins..
