CREAMY SULTANI DAAL
In Arabic, the word “Sultan” means King or ruler. This daal has flavours from the royal kitchen and uses expensive spices and ingredients. We love Gujarati Toor Daal day-to-day but this is our go-to daal recipe for special occasions. We love eating it around festivities such as Diwali or birthdays. Sultani daal is gluten-free and despite the long list of ingredients is very easy to prepare. The use of the Instant Pot or Indian pressure cooker speeds up the process further. Serve alongside Restaurant Style Garlic and Coriander Naan, Badami Methi Mango Paneer or Veg Paneer Makkhanwala without Onion and Garlic No meal is complete without round and soft Gujarati Rotlis. Fluffy Coconut and Almond Rice is a must with this daal.
