Lauki Chana Dal (Squash & Bean Stew)

Some simple comforting flavors bring back the memories of the corner of childhood home where I grew up. The aromas cling the sound of my mum in the background. The textures unfold the brightness of the old golden sunny days. Aah! Such days! We live only in our memories. Rustic but not rusted for sure. Still come back with same fervor. 

Absolute comfort food. Warms up my soul. I, actually don’t need anything  else with this dal or stew. 

It is made using lauki which belongs to the family of squash and is also sold with the name of opo squash in USA. It is rich in fibre and high in water content. The dried beans that are used are kind of split garbanzo beans aka Bengal gram (split), another nutritious addition in the recipe and extremely flavorful.

Do let me know how you make this dal at home as it is a common fair. Sometimes common needs attention too 😀.
