Dal is probably the most essential staple dish in Indian cuisine.
And its one of the most magical and economical foods in the whole world.
About this Dal
There are countless variations of Dal all across India.
I was astonished to discover its sold at Coles supermarket (international section).
Yellow split peas is a terrific substitution though the cook times do differ (see recipe notes).
Other lentils can be used as well see notes for directions and notes on other lentil types.
Dal Spices Dal is made with far less spices than most Indian curries!
This recipe calls for a simple combination of cumin, garam masala and turmeric.
Garam masala is a spice mix found in supermarkets nowadays its like a more potent curry powder.
Curry Leaves Whether fresh or dried, they really do add that extra something-something to the Dal!
Theyre sold in the fresh herbs section at supermarkets and in the dried herbs and spices section.
The Tadka is made with cumin seeds, black mustard seeds and dried red chillies.
The dominant flavour in the Tadka is cumin seeds.
I wouldnt even worry if you dont have dried chillies.
There is a reason why Dal is the single most made dish all across India.
1.4 billion Indians cant be wrong.
