    We as a rule at home very rarely eat out, owing to health related issues of Arjun. So I try and make recipes that are served in restaurants at home so that the kids can get to know the flavors and appreciate all types of cuisines. Here is one such recipe tried out Dhaba style at home. If you want to get the authentic taste of the recipe forget about the calories and indulge.

    DAL MAKHANI ~ RESTAURANT STYLE


    You’ll need:
    Black whole urad dal – 1 cup
    Onion – 2
    Tomatoes – 4
