Jitni bhi Biryani kha lo, our desi comfort food dal-chawal is like the first love we can never forget. It’s that dish that all of us crave after having an eventful hogging spree or post the food coma after festivities. And like most Indian food, this staple combo is made and eaten differently in every Indian household almost every day.
Well, recently, this made-in-heaven combo got the much-needed appreciation online after foreign food writer Nigella Lawson expressed her willingness to savor and learn cooking the dish.
Taking to Instagram, the television cook reposted a picture of the humble ‘rice and lentil soup’ by another foodie named Nitin Prakash and asked if he would share the recipe of the soothing dish with her.
