Maharashtrian Varan Bhaat or Tuvar Dal and Steamed Rice

#GA4 #Week13 #Tuvar #Dal Posting my 50th recipe on Cookpad! Varan-Bhaat or cooked yellow daal( lentils) and steamed rice is the most simple yet most delicious combination liked by each and every Maharashtrian. It makes any meal so complete, be it daily meals or festival meals. No occasion and feast is complete without piping hot varan bhaat which has perfectly cooked Tuvar daal with gentle flavours and seasoning, along with steaming hot rice. It's served with a dollop of ghee which is called Tuup , a lemon wedge and pickel at the sides. No more accompaniment needed. Heavenly combination and extremely healthy. Enjoy.
