Khatti Meethi Dal Recipe (Sweet & Sour Dal)
While we were young my mother does her dal curry at least 5 times a week. We love to have dal with rice, ghee and papad. We will have it with some spicy chilli pachadi(I will post soon), since that curry was so bland, but the taste was so good. Nowadays I too cook lots of dals to make my family healthy. But my dals will be little spicier and has tons of flavours in it.
About Khatti Meethi Dal Recipe (Sweet & Sour Dal)
This is one of the dal which is packed with all types of taste in it..It has spiciness to it along with sourness and lets not forget sweetness too. I made this a month back and it disappeared in no time. We had it with roti, but I am sure it will taste great with roti.

Lovely dish! I made it last week and served it with carrot & bean thoran. My husband who isn't too fond of tamarind in his food said this was the best way to use tamarind he ever saw. I think this dal curry might become a regular item in our meals.
