Lau Dal

A soothing and nutritious dish of yellow lentils (Moong or Masoor) slow-cooked with tender cubes of bottle gourd (Lau). The lentils are tempered with dried chilies and cumin seeds, creating a light, earthy, and comforting stew.

This is a cooling and gentle dish, perfect for balancing out spicier curries. It is a wholesome, plant-based staple that is both hydrating and deeply satisfying, especially during the warmer months.
