Dal (Matpe Beans Dip)

Hi Guys!I hope your Saturday is as sunny as ours. Yay, Summer is back lol I was just browsing the news and for a sec there, my heart skipped a beat! Someone in our town won 500K CAD, from last week’s lottery. For a sec there, I was soooo hopeful, crossing my fingers, it was me, until I realized, I never bought any lottery tickets, boo-hoo. lol So…let’s just share a recipe for now 😛 I asked my husband to boil me some matpe beans, but I did not really specify how much, so he cooked the whole bag. Of course, waaaaaay too much. It ended up as breakfast, lunch, and dinner 😛 And also, for snack time…which was this following Dal. Sooooo good, believe me 😀 My boys enjoyed it as well, so am happy.
