The Daal Project

We wanted to celebrate the humble daal. Daal has been around for more than two thousand years and the basic recipe for daal cooked with turmeric and salt has survived unaltered for just as long. We came across
Sanjeev Kapoor's Dal and Kadhi Cookbook and decided to try out some of the recipes at home. As part of our project we also added some recipes not included in the book like Faray (a unique recipe combining dal and roti from my Grandma) and also Sambhar (recipe credit to my Mom-in-Law follow her blog here). It took me, my husband and my mom-in-law almost a month to cook most of these recipes. The book has many more to try and for any food lover interested in Indian food it is a must buy.
