Plain Dal

**Dal Kolhapuri** is a spicy and flavorful lentil dish from the Kolhapur region of Maharashtra. It features toor dal (pigeon peas) cooked with a blend of robust spices including cumin, coriander, turmeric, and Kolhapuri masala, which adds a distinctive heat and depth of flavor. The dal is typically tempered with a mix of onions, garlic, and spices, and may include ingredients like coconut or tomatoes for added richness. Garnished with fresh coriander, Dal Kolhapuri is best enjoyed with rice, chapati, or bhakri.
