    Chicken Dal Recipe 

    One day i visited one of my close friends place. We had such a great time and for lunch she made ghee rice and dal curry. I was surprised to see that combo, she told me that her mum always makes dal curry with ghee rice. When i tasted it, it was delicious. So yummy.

    About this Recipe

    Dal or lentils are dried, split pulses that do not need to be soaked before cooking in Indian cuisine. Certain regions in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and India are the world's largest producers of pulses. The term is also applied to a variety of soups made from these pulses. These pulses are among the most important staple foods in
    South Asian countries, and they play an important role in South Asian cuisines. Dal Chicken strikes the perfect balance between consuming a healthy dose of fiber-rich, nutritious lentils and satisfying desire for a cheeky bit of chicken.

    I took the inspiration from that, few days later i asked hubby to get chicken. I decided to make ghee rice and dal, at that moment i thought why not add chicken to dal. created my own recipe and when i made it i loved the flavour a lot and it went so well with ghee rice. More over my lil one loved it to the core.

    Ingredients for Chicken Dal

    Yellow Moong Dal / Pasi Paruppu :

    It is high in vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as a variety of minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium. Not to mention that it is a good source of vegetarian protein. It is beneficial for weight loss because it is low in fat and high in protein and fibre.

    Tomatoes:

    Tomato flavour is frequently described as sweet, tart, tangy, or well- balanced. flavour is also known as & classic tomato flavour & or old-fashioned tomato flavour; in some cases. Some tomatoes are described as having a mild or bland flavour.

    Onion:
    Onions are considered a basic ingredient or the foundation of Indian cooking and are used to make any gravy, curry, or bhuna dish. The flavour and aroma of onion transforms any ordinary dish into a mouthwatering and delectable one.
