I have been a little under the weather lately, a cold, a flu, maybe even a bug. Who takes care of mommy when she is not feeling well? IF you said “mommy” then you are correct. Whenever I am sick to the point where I need some TLC I always miss my mommy. She is known for serving me in bed and cooking the foods I love. Since she is so many thousands of miles away I have no choice but to be a mommy to myself.
A little comfort food for me!
Dhal is one of my favorite Indian dishes made with split peas and a variety of spices, then blended into a smooth creamy like sauce or soup. As much as I love dhal I don’t make it too often. I guess that’s just my way of keeping this dish special to me. After drinking all those flu medications and packet soups, this comfort food was well needed.
My Dhal was made to perfection with all the cumin seeds and spices. I enjoyed it with rice and a side of Bok Choy and curried shrimp. Yes, leave it to a Guyanese to mix an Indian dish with a bit of Asian.
