In celebration of reading Bilal Cooks Daal by Aisha Saeed, we cooked daal ourselves! Students chopped tomatoes, coriander, pressed garlic, grated ginger, squeezed lemons, measured spices and mixed it all together!
We had so much fun! And, the daal was absolutely delicious!
Students also reflected on their own favorite food to eat at home with family - just like Bilal.
Here is our recipe that we modified slightly, based on the recipe in the book:
