While traveling from Saharanpur to Chandigarh, a while after the boarder of UP and Punjab, you will come across the Punjabi Vaishnav dhaba. During our trip to Shimla, we stopped there and had our lunch. The dal curry we ordered was so yummy that it still makes me drool. I managed to sneak out the recipe of the dal curry and here is the recipe. A generous amount of butter in properly cooked and garnished dal with a slight burned taste makes it so yummy that I became a fan of Punjabi Dhaba Style Dal.
