Description 

Another stalwart of the Parsi Cuisine, Dhansak Daal (better known as just ‘Dhansak’,) flavored with Indian spices and inspired by ancient Persian cooking methods, manages to draw attention to its impressive manner of bringing hearty vegetables, a meat of choice and wholesome lentils together in one delicious pot of goodness.
And the two traditional accompaniments to the worthy Dhansak Daal are long grain rice like Basmati cooked in caramelized oil with whole spices, and a Kachumber salad (which will remind you of Mexican ‘Pico de Gallo’ with cucumber and a dressing of red vinegar in place of lemon.)
