Dal Paratha
This is one dish I never really grew up with, but I saw these Dal Paratha being made on several websites so I thought I would take a stab using my mom’s Dal Lahsuni recipe. I wanted something super flavorful that sort of resembled Thepla and I really think I achieved that. I recommend spicing up your dough more than you think you need to because I think it mellows out later in the process. I also recommend blending the dal into a paste before mixing into your wheat flour, just for a more smooth consistency. Check this dish out today, and never waste another serving of dal again!

Dal Lahsuni
I first saw and tried this dish at a restaurant near me. My dad loved the extra garlicky kick to it. My mom decided to recreate it at home in her own way. This is a great way to upgrade something that’s normally so bland. Pump up your normal dal chawal and try out this Dal Lahsuni, you could easily do this in the Instant pot or on a stove top if you don’t have a pressure cooker at home, I would just make the tomato and onion mixture on sauté mode first and then add the water and dal and pressure cook until its soft and tender. Feel free…

Moong nu Khatyu
When Hardik first came to visit me in Texas, the first thing he wanted to eat was Moong Bhat. I am sitting there thinking to myself, “Are you crazy?!!? Moong bhat?! Over pizza?! BUT WHY?!” What can I say y’all I am marrying a desi boy through and through. All of the men in my family love moong too and I can’t figure out why. All of the women in my family pass on it every single time. To be honest though, when I took a bite of this moong nu khatyu it was like the Snickers bar commercial for my soul. I could feel my heart coming alive again…

Gujarati Dal
Every Gujarati household I know has a generational war in one thing: kadhi or dal. My mom is a kadhi girl herself but has been beautifully cursed to make the best dal on Earth. All of the women in my family are kadhi people and all the men are dal people but this dal definitely has converted a few folks over the years. It is wonderfully spicy, sweet and tangy all at the same time! This recipe is different from a lot of other Gujarati families from all over the world but I would definitely encourage anyone to give it a try and see if its just as magical of…
