Few years back whenI was working, I had been to Nagpur for an audit,my station manager had bought a parcel for lunch from a small dhaba very famous for its amul butter Dal…minimal spices but amazing taste….served with crisp tandoori roti and brown rice….

A few days back I saw a reel by one of the food blogger about this Dal from Param da dhaba in Nagpur and I was immediately tempted to try it out… This recipe is from how he is making it in that video.
