Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
*Use ½ cup of daal for a healthy version. Otherwise, use ¼ cup of daal. Do not soak the daal for this recipe.
**Oil isn't necessary if you are serving the rice immediately. If saving it for later, it will prevent the rice from sticking together.
*** Nani: "I add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom." Me: "Which one is the cardamom?" Nani: "I didn't put."
****For each part of rice, use 2 parts of water. For each part of daal use ½ a part of water.
