Dal bhat is a traditional South Asian and staple dish which is essentially rice (bhat) and lentil soup (dal).
Generally eaten twice a day with another (usually spicy but sometime bitter or sour) dish called tarkari which can be either vegetarian or non-vegetarian, usually depending on whether the day is a celebration of some kind, or on the wealth of the family concerned.
The recipes vary by locality, ethnic group, family, as well as the season. Dal generally contains lentils (different types are used according to taste), tomatoes, onion, chilli and ginger along with herbs and spices such as coriander, garam-masala and turmeric.
