Daal Mash-Dhabba Style
Daal Mash-Dhabba Style
Daal Mash is one of my favourite Daals, and I love to have it with hot Rotis and Salad. Daal Mash is also a very popular dish served at the Dhabbas and the flavours are absolutely divine. I have tried to create a very Dhabba style Daal Mash which is best complemented with some Rotis and Salad. If you use Ghee for this Recipe, you will get the Dhabba flavour. The ingredients and spices are quite basic and the Tadka and garnishing just uplifts this dish. Do give this recipe a try if you are looking for a different variation of Daal!
