Daal is a staple diet in almost all Indian households. Daal is a good source of protein and is also included in meals even when on a diet as it is wholesome and is good for our health. Daali toay…. a type of thin daal with ginger and green chillies flavour from the NKGSB cuisine of Karwar.
The word toay means… thin watery! This daal is purposely made a bit thin in consistency. The NKGSBs are ardent fish eaters. But on certain days when only veg food is made for religious purposes, toay is a preferred favourite! An accompaniment of some Phodi by the side will do very well with it!
