BHAT
COURSE 4
AND NOW
THE MAIN EVENT:
DAL BHAT!
“This is the most iconic dish Indians make at home. Not chicken tikka
masala or curry. In Gujarat the traditional meal is dal bhat with lentils, rice,
bread, and chaat. The dal is a little sweet with jaggery, a little spicy with
green chiles, and a little sour with the lime juice. My Indian friends are like,
‘This is dal bhat we get at home. You didn’t dumb it down?’ Nope, if you
walked into my mother’s house, this is the dal bhat you’d eat.”
