I think you are deeply thinking about what to do for Sundays special lunch. Nothing to worry. I am coming with perfect and healthy brunch for lazy week end accompanied by  karam bundi/ chips and raita, the dish is BESI BELA BAATH WITH BROKEN WHEAT AND TUR DAL

Generally we make this Besi Bela Bath from cooked rice and lentils, mashed along with spices and vegetables. The major conversion topic between my sister and me is food and latest recipes. She asked me why didn't you try besi bela bath with broken wheat instead of rice. I prepared this and came out with great taste.
