After being to holiday parties for last few days, today I decided to cook Bengali comfort food at home. Daal is an essential part of a Bengali meal and the moong daal cooked with cauliflower, peas and ghee is definitely a delicate comfort food. This daal has little sweet taste. Usually people from southern part of India do not like sweetness in the main course. But my family members from southern part of India love this daal. I hope other people will also like it.
