Daal-e-Mukashshar

Daal-e-Mukashshar is a dry preparation of husked lentils cooked until tender while still remaining separate and distinct. Unlike the creamy consistency of most daals, there is no gravy here, allowing the texture of the lentils themselves to come through. Deeply browned fried onions add sweetness and crispness against the soft lentils, while a simple seasoning keeps the dish savoury and aromatic. It's a daal that looks and tastes quite unlike the usual bowlful.
