For the past three days, the weather is getting too worst here, either its rainy or else its too chilled. No matter how the weather is, we are enjoying even this chilled weather with some comforting foods. As you know, am running my second week of blogging marathon and today is the final day.As i chosed Goan cuisine as this week's theme, i really want to finish my last day of this second week's blogging marathon with a simple,flavourful and super comforting dal from Goa.
This dal can be prepared with many other veggies and i picked this recipe from Dassana's Veg Recipes of India. This dal gets ready very much easily with a wonderful coconut flavour. If you are bored of our usual dal dishes,do give a try this fingerlicking comforting food. A simple coconut paste with onions,cumins and garlic cloves gives a fantabulous flavour to this dal. We loved it very much and am sure you guys will love it too.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#26.
