Lasooni Dal Recipe, Garlicky Dal Recipe
Lasooni dal is garlicky dal that has the predominate flavours of garlic in it. Made from a mixture of toor dal and moong dal is mildly spicy and goes well with steamed rice and roti.
Garlicy Dal
This Punjabi dal is tempered with ghee, spices and of course garlic. This tasty and easy dal is a treat to the senses. This dal is more on the thicker consistency than the normal dal.
It’s something you must try. Actually, I do not like garlic so the amount I ate was minimum and yet I liked it.
The main ingredients in this garlic tadka dal are toor dal or arhar dal, moong dal and garlic.
The other dal that I have tried in the past are Sadha Varan or Plain Dal~Dal The Maharashtrian Way, Menthe Baali Tavi, Palak Moong Dal, Moong ki Dal, Kali Dal, Toi~ Dal The Goan Way.
Now let’s try out Lasooni dal that I have adapted from here.
