I’m sharing another Indian treasure today. My mother-in-law showed me how to make this Toor Dal with Brussels Sprouts last time she was in Arizona. I thought it was such a wonderful way to make Brussels sprouts. Serve with naan and raita for a taste of India, right in your kitchen.
If you make this recipe, I’d love to see it. Please tag @LivityGardens on Instagram and use the hashtag #LivityGardens.
