Among all the exotic meals anyone can think of, Dal has its own place, it has its own Fanbase who would prefer it over any other type of meal any day. We can tell you this because Daal recipes are one of the popular recipes on ER.
Like Masoor Daal we shared few days ago, Lasooni Daal, as the name suggests, has a good flavour of garlic and is super yummy. Goes well with both Roti and Rice. And, yes, takes less time also.
Below is the recipes of Lasooni Daal with step by step pictures. I hope you will love this one as well.
