9. Vegetable Oil
10. Garlic

Omg I loved this rice when I was young , one of my favourite dishes, I will definitely try and cook this , I've never tried cooking this before as watching my mum to do this years ago always seemed soooooo complicated and I'm sure she used to put it in the oven too, can't wait to try it
ReplyDeleteHope you love it as much as you did when you were younger! :)
Deletesalam! what other daals can i use? i have masoor right now but not chana...i have moong and green lentils on hand too. sorry new to cooking!
ReplyDeleteWasalaam. You can use all masoor. It will be just as good.
DeleteAssalam-u-aleikum dear Faatimah.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this delicious recipe!
I've just prepared it, and it's really yummy!
Wa alaikumus salaam, so glad you enjoyed the daal.
DeleteHello, can I ask what the black pan you're using is? It looks like it has a different bottom to most pans..
ReplyDeleteSo sorry but I'm not sure. It was a gift given to us years ago.
DeleteI'm not sure what I done wrong but the garlic and chana daal tasted raw still (hard to bite) however the taste was beautiful, maybe on spicier side for me. However , I will try this out again! MashaAllah
