Dal rice is my husband's favorite.He needs dal rice atleast once in a week,Dals cooked along with rice ,topped with ghee tates amazing.There are many versions in dal rice cooking,My mum cooks dal rice in two ways – one with dominating ground masala flavour and other with mild sauted spices.I prefer second method always as it more easy to make.My mum makes with rice and avara parupu but I prefer tur dal.
