A Recipe: Dhaal or lentils…

This is one of my favourite go-to recipes when I haven’t cooked and I need a substantial meal for the seven of us. The most difficult thing is getting the children used to it as a main meal. I do this by serving it with paratha- buttery fried chappati- and also offering scrambled eggs as a side…seems to work!

You will need:

4-5 cloves of crushed garlic
1 tablespoon of basaar (Kashmiri curry powder)

1 heaped teaspoon of salt.
1 tablespoon dried Fenugreek

A handful of freshly chopped coriander

2 cups of dhaal/ I’ve used a mixture of mung dhaal yellow and red split peas

Approx. 500ml water
