One day i was chatting with my cousin. She asked me that tell some protein and Protein rich food. That should be good for all ages. And that we can make it easily on routine life. Because she is working, so she want to make it for whole family, should be kids lunch box, stomach filling, tasty etc., I look into my pantry, which one is protein rich. I found masoor dal.
But I used to do masoor dal sambar or dal. To make something special and for kids lunch box, easy to make, filling thought to make briyani. I searched for masoor dal briyani, because didnt tried before. At last, i got this recipe from newspaper. My mom take a pic and send. From that i tried this masoor dal briyani. Taste so good, tummy filling and protein rich food.

You can use whole masoor dal also. But soaking time is important. Because, rice will cook easily, but dal take some time to cook. If soaked for 2-4 hours. It will cook nicely along with rice. So, friends please try and let me know your feedback. Thank you. Here we go recipe.
