Ep. 06: Oh Daal, You Got India Pulsating

In this week’s podcast the 2Gs, the Gourmands and the Geeks, Sadaf and Archit make you meet Bilal and his quest for his favourite slow cooked daal. They will introduce you to the Hindu and Muslim customary rituals of preparing daal, an ingredient dish that should be the hero of your meal rather than the side dish. They also discuss how different varieties of daal got their names and shed some light on the economics of hoarding food crops. So put some yellow daal in the cooker, chop up fresh onions, knead some dough and listen to this podcast.Important links to geek out more:Bilal Cooks Daal by Aisha Saeed and Anoosha SyedHoarding and Bhavesh Joshi SuperheroIndian Food: A Historical Companion: By KT AchayaPull of Pulses by Salma HussainYou can follow Sadaf Hussain & Archit Puri on their Instagram handle: @sadaf_hussain @thehustlinggluttonYou can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.You can check out our website at http://www.ivmpodcasts.com/
