This is a very tasty dhal which honestly I was not expecting from the limited list of ingredients! It did take over 2 hours for the lentils to break down though so just a warning to leave more time – I believe it changes from brand to brand and also depending on the age of the lentil. Make a double portion to cover 2 people as a main dish.
