Hi Graham,
I would love a recipe for Indian lentil dahl. (brown or red or whatever you have) The Indian stall at Bruma flea market makes lovely dahl and whenever I’m there I get some along with a whole lot of their other fantastic food, but I live in Parkhurst and it’s too far to travel to every time I feel like dahl, and that’s often!
I’ve been looking around on the internet for a dahl recipe but I’m not sure where to start. Help please!!
Hi Taryn, hope this helps. I have not made Dahl in years but do have a few really good recipes which I will revisit again soon. Have a lekker day G
