Indian cuisine is blessed with such a variety of flavours. In Indian culture, a hearty meal cooked with love is at the heart of every celebration, bringing loved-ones together and forming strong bonds.
One of the simplest and most-loved meals regarded as the best comfort food is the quintessential Dahl. This versatile staple is super nutritious and loaded with protein goodness.
Indian Dahl is a blend of mild aromatic spices which are used to flavour lentil, pea or bean dishes. Dahl is a good meal to have on its own or as an accompaniment to serving rice with a curry.
Directions
Add lentils, water and chopped tomato into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer approx 30 min. (Till the lentil mixture forms a thick soup consistency)
Heat oil/ghee in a saucepan, add Indian Dahl spice mix, curry leaves, onions, sauté 10-15 min to caramelise the flavour . It should be a rich golden brown.
Stir sautéed spice & onion mixture into the lentil mixture & simmer 5 min. Add lemon juice & coriander just before serving. Serve with naan or roti.
