Instagram user Anushree shared a video that shows her making the dish. “Recreated the OG comfort food - dal & rice and turned it into sushi! I know it’s not conventional, but I loved this little creative challenge for myself and the cherry on the top? Got mumma’s approval! Plain rice, pomegranate & garlic chutney, lachha pyaaz, sukhi dal, dal tadka on the side. All of these elements went SO well together, it had everything - sweetness, spice, sourness and it tasted really good, almost like a hug,” she also shared while posting the video.
