Gujarati Toor Dal

I am Gujarati, Gujarat is the western most state of India. Gujarati's love to add some sweetness to their savory food, it is our signature. Gujarati Toor Dal is known for its distinct sweetness which comes from jaggery(brown sugar). I loveToor Dal, it a part of a typical Gujarati meal.

Finally, I have come as close as I ever have to getting my Guju Dal to taste like my mother's. Thanks to my aunt, I was able to figure out the missing ingredient that gave the flavor some body (tamarind).
