I have so many articles to post that I haven’t!  Here’s the latest one on Zurich 🙂

One of my latest recipes to incorporate “daal’ in my diet without having it in the traditional sense!  I’ve been trying to be on a more dairy-free diet and am attempting to cut down on processed food.  This was a result of it, my mom used to make this for me when I lived in Australia, and called it “chill”.  I’ve tweaked it here and there – to my taste!

Hope you like this. 🙂

It’s best eaten with green chutney, tamarind chutney and Indian pickles.
