By Sharanya

For this month's Sshhh.... secretly cooking , we are cooking from Mizoram . I was paired with Sujata Shukla who blogs at I decided to make this mizo dhal . Mizoram cuisine consists of fewer vegetarian options. In this mizo dhal too they will be adding whole boiled eggs. I skipped adding the eggs, the recipe is even called as Dal and eggs . I referred this recipe from Pepper on Pizza . She gave me onion and tomato as my secret ingredients. Do visit her site for more interesting recipes.....
