A bowl this warm and comforting daal gosht is all you need to cosy up on a cold winter day.
Rainy days, dark evenings, cold feet. Winter isn’t my favourite season. But if there is one things I like about winter is to cosy up with some heart warming meals. A bowl of soup, a hearty stew or a warming curry. Give these to me and I will be a happy lady.
