Gujarati Dal Recipe
I have been fond of Gujarati food since childhood because my mom often prepares delicious Churma Ladoos, sweet-sour Gujarati Kadhi, sweet-spicy Gujarati Dal, spicy-tangy Sev Tameta nu Shaak, Rotla and spongy Dhokla at home. I have taken this Gujarati Dal Recipe from my mother. I hope you like it 🙂
