 Six-year-old Bilal helps his dad make his favorite food – daal. The slow cooked dish from South Asia requires many ingredients and patience. Bilal’s diverse friends are excited to try the new dish. They break naan around the table and share the steamy, garlicky, salty, sweet, creamy daal. They all agree that it tastes great. The colorful illustrations were rendered digitally. An author’s note explains that daal is known as lentils in English. A recipe for chana daal with split chickpeas is also included. mjw |
