Tidali Daal
The heavenly mixture of 3 lentils.
I call it heavenly because the smell and the aroma of this daal takes your culinary senses for a ride to where you do not want to come back from. A combination of 3 daals viz., Chana Daal (Split Bengal gram) , Dhuli Urad Daal (Split black bean) and Dhuli Moong Daal (Split Green bean).
The ratio in the mixture really is a personal choice, I have been making it with equal portions of all daals. So a cup and half of the mixed daal would be sufficient for 4 people.
Had thought of preparing the daal today and suddenly realized the way my mother used to cook in the bronze pot. She used to slow cook the daal in this metal pot and the aroma would be there since morning when the pot went up on the gas. So although lately we have been preparing this dish in pressure cooker but today decided to make it in the old family bronze pot used specifically to slow cook this mixed daal.
