Weeknight Dal

Creating a versatile, one-pot dal recipe has been a journey. This version is complete with vegetables and a mix of dals for a well-balanced, weeknight meal. Don't have all the dals or vegetables on hand? What I love about dal is that you can tailor it to what you have on hand. Use only moong dal for this recipe if looking to keep it simple. Replace Indian vegetables with zucchini or add spinach at the end. The options are endless!
