As you can imagine I love cooking very much but cooking also mean eating.
We’re not exactly a family of “I eat whatever I want and I stay fit” so I spend a lot of time searching and trying healthy and low calories foods.
I bake and I prepare the most lustful dishes only on week end we’re at home: it’s not easy, in order to be a productive blogger, offer light foods that are also tasty and with a photographic appeal but this dhal wins because it’s easy, delightful and because the photos turned out quite well and this usually makes me love a recipe even more!
I love it hot in winter but also warm or even cold during the summer.
