Dal Makhani
prepared with the above portions will serve about four to six people
accompanied by parathas, rotis, puris, nan or rice. This dal is rich in

assimilation, however ginger solves this problem and makes it easy to
digest. It is very good for growing children owing to its rich nutritive
value.
