Triveni Dal
“Dal (also spelled Dahl or Daal,
or Dhal) is a preparation of pulses (dried lentils, peas or beans)
which have been stripped of their outer hulls and split. It also refers to the
thick stew prepared from these pulses, an important part of Indian, Nepali, Pakistani,
Sri Lankan, West Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine. It is regularly
eaten with rice and vegetables in southern India, and with both rice and roti (wheat-based
flat bread) throughout northern India and Pakistan. Dal is a
ready source of proteins for a balanced diet containing little
or no meat.

It provides an excellent source of protein for the Indian
subcontinent, particularly for those adopting vegetarian diets or diets which
do not contain much meat. Dal is typically around 25% protein by weight, giving
it comparable protein content to meats. Dal is also high in carbohydrates
whilst being virtually fat free. Dal is also rich in the B vitamins thiamine
and folic acid as well as several minerals, notably iron and zinc.”

These words that I have copied from Wikipedia indicate how
important dal is in our vegetarian meal.

I make it a point to
make dal everyday but the fact remains that I generally make it only in one
particular way day in and out so that becomes boring and then it is rejected at
the table.

So for this BM I choose dal as my theme. At least then I will try a newer variety that is the general
idea.

The girls are happy with rasam and sambhar day in and out husband
and FIL will want something sans the masala. To try and find the acceptable
mean point is not easy especially with the vocal teen and about to enter teens
around.

This particular dal had no takers, not on day 1. The next day in the evening after we came back
shopping at almost dinner time I heated the dal in the microwave and my elder
daughter came to help me. As she opened the microwave there was a waft of the
most beautiful smell, the aroma of a delicious dal.

This is no particular recipe just what I made after reading
so many dal recipes here in the blogosphere. It’s just what was appreciated at
home. Dals, like most Indian foods are very forgiving make it to suit your palate.

I make a mixture of 3 dals which is very very rarely
acceptable and infact no one realized that the dal was a mix of 3 dals and not
just toor dal.
