Khatti Meethi Daal (sweet ‘n’ sour tempered lentil curry)|| healthy and tasty|| Ultimate Comfort food- the simple daal Bhaat or daal chawal😊

‘Khatti meethi daal’ (sweet ‘n’ sour lentil curry) or popularly known as Gujarati Daal is a very healthy dish and is a must menu in my comfort dishes menu.

It needs pigeon pea or toor daal or arhaar daal and a quarter cup of yellow moong daal or moong beans and then temper with some Indian spices with some healthy jaggery and tamarind and its done.

You will need steamed rice,a bowl of this daal (lentil curry) with some pickle and a popadum (papad) for a perfect happy and healthy day. Like in our house we can’t go our groceries without Daal and chawal that is lentils and rice.
