Dal Tortellini

I have adapted Dal ki Dulhin to the American lifestyle and teach it too.

In my version I cook dal with spinach, carrots, celery and tomatoes...then give it a nice chonk.

Instead of the hard work of making the aata and rolling and adding it to the dal... I use store bought cheese and spinach filled little tortellini's...cook it as per package directions and then add it to the dal...

and garnish with store bought french fried crispy onions and ofcourse dhania.

It really is a one thing meal... wholesome and satisfying.
