Directions
Dal Nirvana & Naan,Taken from these two pages, & this was totally delicious & cheap.,We loved this dal recipe very much — it is sooo delicious over rice. I had such a rushed day that I was unable to make the naan, but I promise to do so very soon as I will be making this dish again many times over. Made for the Best of 2014 tag game.,I didn’t make the naan but loved the dal! My Indian bf says its the best I’ve made. However, we found we actually liked it better before the milk was added.

Put a Lid on the Pot and Let It Simmer For Half an Hour. the Mixture Should Be Soft and Thick After a Half Hour. If It Is not, Continue to Simmer, Adding More Water If It Dries Out.
