Dal, made with pulses, is a staple food. Its healthy by itself, and with veggies it just gets better. I follow my mothers recipe, and like everyone I know, she had her own special recipe for dal. She used atleast 2 different kinds of pulse's for it, adds to the nutrition and gives it more texture and depth. Do modify spices according to your taste.
