Dal is a thick lentil stew cooked with spices that is traditionally eaten in southern India. It is one of my favorite dishes and is the perfect hearty, protein-rich meal for a vegetarian/vegan diet. Dal is perfect to serve along with rice, vegetables, and flat-bread for an easy meal - perfect for any weeknight dinner or a Sunday supper. If you are looking for simple comfort food and a nourishing dish then this dal is for you.
