Dal Delights

On completion of more than 5 months of experimental cooking with dal, I decided to have a few friends over for lunch— for a Dal Day ! – kept fingers crossed that it shouldn’t be a ‘dull’ one.

Sunday 7^thJanuary  2021 dawned and my guests arrived by 1.30pm, each yelling out – 

“We are famished!” 

“Can’t wait any longer!”

“I skipped breakfast and here I am to attack your dalonthetable!”.

The menu is in the picture above, clockwise –  Idli, Channa chutney, Sambar Dal, Fried Moong Eggs,  Black-eyed Flan, Sprouted Moong Salad, Rajma Rice and Moong Pudding.

Lastly for the Sweet Tooth

Some of the comments from the guests at WhatsApp:

“Dalicious!” my granddaughter Rheana, who is undertaking classes on Culinary Art , exclaimed.

“ All dal items, all dalicious and exciting and never dull”.

“ Showed my friend the pictures.  He took them to show his wife ! Very impressed.”

“ Fantastic it was !!! And  creativity at its height !“

“That was a delicious lunch ..thank you sooooooo much.”

“Exotic Daal lunch today”.

“Complete vegetarian.. ..simply spellbound !! Can’t find a word to define ……..you are unbelievable” remarked someone who makes exotic vegetarian meals.

And very soon the serving dishes were wiped clean…It made my day ! My Dal Day !

The proof of the pudding is in the eating— they say! And the comments of the guests are inspiring enough to explore and indulge in more creativity.

Before I sign off – I would like to thank Rheana and my brother for the beautiful photographs.

Happy Day !
