Best Daal Chawal I've had — and I've tried a few

Having eaten Daal Chawal at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The fragrant from whole spices quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. whole garam masala is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference.

This is proper a family Eid feast cooking, not an adaptation for foreign tastes. lassi was the obvious choice and the combination was perfect. nihari was originally eaten after the fajr morning prayer as a slow-cooked overnight stew. Would return for this dish alone.
