Gujarati Dal

3 from 1 vote

This is a traditional tuvar dal recipe made in Gujarati households. It is a spicy sweet dal which is due to the jaggery added in it. Nobody makes this dal as tasty as my mom. Though I try multiple times, I have yet to reach the homely taste that she achieves. Gujarati dal is light on the stomach and tastes one notch superior when had with tomato onion salad and rice.
