I have used two varieties of Dal in making this Egg Dal dish. Together they bring so much flavor to this dish. Easy to cook with no fuss.

Variation of Egg Dal or Lentil with Egg Recipe

Lentil with Egg can be enjoyable as soup in a winter day. It’s filling too. This dish is so perfect for those days when you are not in a mood to cook so much. Make it little liquid version and serve with runny eggs on top.

You can add Green leafy veggies to the Dal. You can add Moringa leaves or Baby spinach to make it more healthy.
I sometime add Carrots, French beans and Green peas to it . The result is a perfect one bowl meal .you can enjoy as a winter meal.

Serve in a rustic bowl, play your favorite track and enjoy !
