This dal is absolutely delicious and the cook had no hesitation in telling me his secret which I now pass on to you!
Like most Punjabi dals this too requires ghee that add an unmatched flavour. Milk is added to the dal making it creamy. Almonds are used, which make this dal even richer.
Do try other Punjabi dals like Dal Amritsari or Panchratni Dal .

This dal is not only rich in flavours but also great in taste, it has very basic ing that makes it possible to make this dal any time and for any one. What I found very unique about this recipe is the use of almonds.
