During the interview, Kamiya asked Smriti if there is a meal that really touches her soul. The Minister replied that it all depends on her mood. On days when she is away from home for 7-8 days due to incessant travel, Smriti seeks comfort in Moringa Dal and Chawal.

“First, boil arhar dal (masoor dal) with a pinch of salt and haldi,” she explains. Next, Smriti states that one can grind the dal with a churner or add it in a mixer.
