This post has 2 salads in one 🥳 Save right away & Swipe left for a step by step 😉 And after this salad you cannot say salads are boring, I mean come on don’t you agree with me ? 😈 The trick to get it right is don’t overcook dal to retain texture, to make it as a side salad just skip the lentils & rest as is ☺️ Paneer/tofu/eggs/feta for extra goodness as per preference 😇
