Lasooni Dal Tadka : My experience on preparing this delicacy

-

As it has been a long time since I have posted a blog on a food item, today I have decided to blog on my experience in preparing my favourite type of dal curry, "Lasooni Dal Tadka".

Lasooni translates to garlic and Dal translates to lentils. As the name suggests, the main ingredient in the Lasooni dal is the garlic which gives it a unique flavour. I will be sharing the recipe and the directions for preparing it as well.

As I had only devoured and relished the Lasooni dal tadka before, I was thrilled at the fact that I was going to cook it. I started with boiling the water and then added the lentils. As I did each step with utmost carefulness, the joy in me started creeping up my spine. In due time, the dish was ready; I resolved to eat it hot.

When I tasted the dal, I had only one thought in my mind, Wooah!! The flavour of the garlic had infused with the flavours of the lentils and onions. The flavours of the spices had added to the palatable taste.

I would strongly recommend you to try out this dish as it will be very tasty. I would recommend you to have it with rice as well. The recipe and the directions for preparing it are below:

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup of Moong Dal
  2. 1 medium sized onion sliced
  3. 1 medium sliced tomato sliced
  4. Six pods of garlic
  5. Cumin - half teaspoon

  5. Take a pan.
  6. Add four tablespoons of oil.

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future.

Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it.

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
