When someone asks me about my comfort food, the answer is almost instantaneous. A steaming bowl of rice topped with dal, a dollop of ghee and some pickle on the side does it all for me.
It’s also strange how the taste of food changes from plate to plate. I have fond memories of my childhood, when how much ever I have eaten and how much I am full, a bite of Dal rice from my mom’s plate was customary.
Their was something about the way she mixed up her dal, rice and pickle which gave a totally different taste which never came in my own plate.
For yesterday’s dinner, I made black Masoor Dal which is a family favourite and the combination of Bharwan Bhindi with it was a killer. Simple flavors, simple ingredients yet so much satisfaction. Here is how to make Chatpati Masoor Dal.
