Coriander Dal

A preparation which my son and myself enjoy, specially with a lot of the fried garlic on top.

Coriander Dal topped with a tempering of Fried Garlic. Extremely tasty Dal dish eaten with chapati, bhakri. Very typical to interior Maharashtra. I personally enjoy it with steaming hot plain rice too.

In a small pan make a tempering of little oil, mustard seeds, a bit of turmeric powder, asefotida, add the chopped garlic pieces fry them to a golden brown. Top the dal with the tempering and serve.
