Gems & Jewels of an Indian Kitchen: All about lentils and legumes

Eat your Daal and you will get strong! That’s what my vegetarian upbringing taught me. This is our go to source of protein. In India you have a daal with every meal in addition to green vegetables . Sounds boring but that’s not at all true. There are enough legumes and lentils that you never have to repeat a single one through the week, but then of course all of us have a favorite that we could really have every day.

Menu includes:

Rajma (Kidney Beans) or Cholay ( Garbanzo Beans) and Basmati Rice

Yellow Mung Daal with Palak

Daal Pasta
