Masoor, a very nutritious lentil, is also very pleasing to the pallet. Sookhi Masoor Dal is a dry preparation cooked in well-chosen spices and is not only tasty but also brims with protein, iron and folic acid. It goes well with any Indian bread. Soaking Masoor Dal overnight not only reduces the cooking time but also makes it easily digestible. Do give it a try!
