Contexte culturel
In Gujarat, 'Garam Dal' is often served with a dollop of ghee and a squeeze of lemon to balance the heat and spices. Serving food cold is considered disrespectful. Hosts will often re-heat the dal multiple times if a guest is late. According to Ayurvedic principles followed in many Gujarati homes, eating 'Garam' food aids digestion and balances 'Vata'. During community feasts (Choryasi), 'Garam Dal' is served from large buckets to hundreds of people simultaneously.

Watch the 'D'
Don't use a hard English 'D' for Dal. Keep it soft and dental to sound natural.
