The starting of the day is with a royal breakfast known as Dal Pakwan.This is the crisp fried palin flour flatbreads, served with simple Chana dal, garnished with coriander leaves and chopped onion.
I made this delish combo for our breakfast and we loved it.I have never thought that the simple chana dal can be so scrumptious without lots of spices and aromatics.The perfectly crisp pakwan and the flavorful dal makes a wonderful breakfast dish.
