Panchmel Daal

Health and wealth both are built only slowly with small focused efforts at time. Isn't it? Eating healthy food has to be a routine, conscious effort and not a one day thing. Thorough out this blog you will find me resonating with this thought of consuming healthy with our everyday ingredients and today I bring one such humble, simple protein rich recipe. The idea is to include this panchmel daal which combines various varieties of daal, at least once in a week in your meals.
