Lauki Chane ki daal
Most people dont like lauki, although I am a big fan. I can eat it in its simplest form too. But for those who cant, like my husband, I do cook variety like lauki halwa, sambhar, lauki dosa etc. This chane ki daal with lauki combi is his favourite. I make it with a lot of spices and minimum oil, so that he doesnt have to smell the aroma of lauki in it. ( which he dislikes btw and i dont understand why ). I cook this often with any side vegetables like I did yesterday along with dum bhindi and it was well accepted as always.. he he.. Every woman knows his husband :P
