    Fragrant Black Daal

    April 21, 2015

    Fragrant Black Daal

    Dinner at Jolly's Indian Bistro

    Indian’s almost all unanimously agree that the king of daals is the Black Daal. Rather blandly named, this daal is a rich, thick daal made using black lentils. It’s lightly, but carefully spiced, and an absolute joy to eat with rice. If you’re going out to a north indian restaurant in a large group, this will undoubtedly get ordered. Hope you enjoy our family rendition!
