While giving a tour of their home, Meezaan Jafri and his father, actor Jaaved Jaaferi, also shared the lunch menu. Meezaan, 30, shared that his all-time favourite is dal made at home. “This house makes 7-8 different kinds of dal. This is yellow masoor dal,” he said. Jaaved, 63, added that, unlike many other households, they make dry dals with whole spices. “We have two sookhi or dry dals with urad and masoor jo khade masalon me banti hai…(with whole spices). It also has curry leaves, ginger, and green chillies,” Jaaved told Curly Tales , while admitting to being a foodie who is mindful about his portions, unlike his son.
