Daal-bhaat’e ranks high in our fuss-free, comfort food list. The all season favourite is as easy as it gets to make and goes well with almost anything. We like ours spiked with some white mustard pickle.

 

about the lentil

Masoor/Musur is synonymous with Daal (lentils) in Bengal. High in protein, Masoor is prepared in multiple ways, with each household having at least two variations of preparing it. The grains cook easily and turn mushy that forms the base of the Daal.
