this is a fab recipe - easy to do, most ingredients were in the cupboard and tasted divine
Made this & served to friends who came to Sunday lunch with brown rice, naan bread & raita. Absolutely delicious. Even meat-keen husband was complimentary.
This is a fab dahl recipe, just made a pot for the next few days. Lemony, curry warmth; great for winter.
I am a new dahl fan!! I bung everything in my dahl. Basically like a thick soup. Parsnip particularly good, a lovely burst of sweetness in amongst all the curry flavours. Aubergine obviously delicious, celery holds up well, potato, carrots, you name it, it goes in. A real credit crunch supper. A naan bread and you are away.
