A little about 'daal'
Daal/Dal is a staple in most indian households and is an umbrella terms used to include a wide variety of lentils and pulses. A large percentage of Indians are vegetarians, and rely on lentils and pulses to get their daily quota of protein. In North India, daals are generally eaten with rotis and naans,made with wheat and in south india, daal is generally eaten with white rice. The dish made in this video is Tomato daal, which is a variation of dal tadka with added tomatoes to give it a distinct tanginess.
