His reaction in the end 😭 eating dal and rice after 5 days 

Jinesh makes this special dal tadka and he uses lot of fresh ingredients and barely any spices. All the flavors are from onions, garlic, green chilies, tomatoes and whole spices. This dal is so comforting and lot of times when I am working, I prep the dal in an instant  pot along with rice and he sautés the veggies and adds the tadka. Lot of our friends and family have tried this version and love it. 

Today when Nirvaan came back from his trip, we made the same dal and rice, his reaction was priceless
