No food blog is complete without comfort food. What could be more comforting than Dal. This no-frills recipe is inspired by a Bengali recipe, easy to make, and can be had with a number of accompaniments. Unlike others, I love to have Amla Superberry Dal as is.

It is no secret that Amla (India Gooseberry) is rich in nutrients and mention in Ayurveda. It is an extremely rich source of Vitamin C, Iron & Zinc. Each of these good nutrients builds immunity. In addition, Amla is a great for hair, skin & scalp. We can go on and on, but if you're interested, you can check our general trivia section for more information.

This simple no-frills recipe goes with all the ages. I can hardly find anyone who is averse to Dal. A contender to our national dish Khichdi could be dal, because every state has it. Our Amla Superberry Dal is inspired by a Bengali dish. The delicious recipe has tempering of mustard seeds & dry chillies and can go a long way in making you feel at home.

Amla has a unique taste, which is tangy, sweet, and bitter, which makes this Dal different. Needless to say that Amla is a power-packed fruit and is also very versatile. Regular usage of Amla can lead to an increase in immunity since it has a high content of Iron, Zinc & Vitamin C.

Also not to mention Turmeric which one of the best anti-oxidants. We Indians tend to discount this because it is normally a part of our meals. It is in the times of today that the world is recognizing the benefits of this spice in building immunity and therefore health

So let's dive into the easy recipe...
