Weekend's here...and after an entire 5 day schedule at work , was super lazy to cook anything elaborate._x000D_
Hence dished up my all time, any time favourite - Dal & Chawal (Peas Pulav)_x000D_
Had a dubba full of spicy boondis lying around, so made the raita as well to go along with it._x000D_
Yummy in my tummy.
