Gujrati Daal

Gujarati Dal is a sweet, tangy, and mildly spiced lentil dish that's a staple in Gujarati cuisine. Made from toor dal (split pigeon peas), this dal is flavored with a unique blend of spices, including mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves, and a touch of jaggery for sweetness. The dal is cooked until smooth and then tempered with a fragrant tadka (tempering) of spices and ghee, giving it its distinctive flavor. The balance of sweet, sour, and spicy makes Gujarati Dal a comforting and satisfying dish, often enjoyed with steamed rice or roti. Its success lies in its simple preparation and the delightful harmony of flavors that appeal to all ages.
