M will be turning one later this week. I cannot believe it's been a year already! She walks with support. She can walk without support too but the moment she realizes that she's not holding onto something, she just plops down! My parents and my sister, D, are here and my in-laws will be arriving next week. So, it will be an extra special birthday. I'll be sure to post some pictures of her b'day.
This recipe here is my sister's. It tastes really yum and is pretty simple to make too. This is also my entry for RCI-Punjab hosted by Richa of As Dear as Salt . Dal Makhani usually made with whole urad and rajma.
