Masoor Dal

Masoor dal is not a regular lentil in my kitchen but when I do prepare it, this dal is much loved and relished by all at home. A versatile dal that each time I prepare its a variation from the one prepared earlier. Loved the creamy texture of the dal with wonderful flavors, none overwhelming their counterparts. Rotis with masoor dal goes very well. But this dal i have cooked special to go with Ghee Rice. Simple foods are such a joy, aren’t they?
