Welcome to my blog again. I am so glad that you are here.

Today I'm popped up here with one of the most healthiest recipe made by some lentil mix called daal fry in the clay pot.

Typically we made this lentil based curry (mix daal fry) in the pressure cooker . But if we have time and want to make this more delicious and healthy we can make it in the clay pot.
I know this recipe need some patience but trust me you will amazed with the result. Today i present you that details recipe.

We can make lentil based curry with one type of lentil. Or we can make it with some mix lentils. Whenever i made daal fry to enjoy with rice i prefer this mix lentil daal. To make this i mixed 5 types of lentil: moong dal , chana dal, masoor dal, black udad dal and toor dal. Mix all in same quantity or you can asd moong dal more compare to other lentils.

To make this daal fry simply cooked the lentils, then seasoning with garlic , onion , tomato and some spices. Enjoy it with chapati, naan or rice.
