It has another name Red lentil soup which contains on
runny consistency this recipe actually originated in Bombay India_and I got
this recipe by chance when I visited my former colleague-Her laws belong to Bombay india_and also learned of her mother-in-law.
I did a variation in this recipe by making spiced stuffed
green chilies that give a little
sourness to the dal chicken curry that I used in tempering_also this dish has a whole lot of flavor captured in just one pot. The addition of spices has created
complex flavors in the dish_Did you know that the whole Masoor Dal contains a high
level of proteins and is also rich in fiber. It also falls into an antioxidant
property.
Making dal gosht in Pakistani families is very common just
like moong dal gosht, and dal chana gosht but this recipe is
quite different than those recipes..this is cooked in chicken yakhni that
brings some unique taste of this curry_goes well with boiled
rice. bagara rice
and zeera rice. Just try it once and I
believe all of you love this recipe.
