Truly Flavorful Chanay ki Daal

Chanay ki daal is one of the best lentil recipes and lentils themselves are good for you especially if you are a vegetarian as they are a good source of proteins making it a substitute of meat. Chanay ki Daal is my most favorite lentil recipe. Because of ts delicious taste this recipe is good for the children who don’t like lentils. Lentils are amazing a whatever it is winter or summer you can make lentils at any time of the year.
