Timeless Combo
Poetry prompt: Heavenly Duo

Green lentils soaked overnight. Slow-cooked with garam masala and salt to taste. Garnished with fried red onions and some butter.** Great ancient Indian staple loaded with essential nutrients.
Basmati rice and lentils (daal-chawal) mixed together become an incredibly aromatic delectable dish. Effortless recipe easily aced by novice cooks. Best combination of healthy and comfort food enjoyed by all ages. Every grocery budget can accommodate the ingredients to prepare these dishes without elaborate meal prep.
