Review of Dhal Recipe
Time to cook another Curry Focus recipe. I picked the dhal recipe because I like dhal and it looked so easy to make.
Everything was in the kitchen except for the lentils and I just picked them up from my local supermarket.
This really is an unbelievably easy meal to cook.
I washed and drained the lentils and put them on to cook.
Whilst the lentils were cooking, I chopped up the onion and garlic and measured and mixed up the spices.
I drained the lentils after they were cooked and fried the onions and garlic. Then in went the spices.
Soon the lentils were added to the frying pan and everything was going along nicely. I noticed that the dhal kept drying out (maybe I had the heat up too high) so I added some boiling water a few times (just a little so I didn’t turn the dhal into soup).
Then I cut off some of the cilantro plant that I’ve got growing by the kitchen window and chopped up the leaves for the garnish.
It was really that easy.
The recipe said that that it served 4 but it was really only enough for 2. Luckily there were only 3 of us for dinner and I padded it out with a few paratha.
And what was the verdict? Delicious! It rated an excellent 8.5 out of 10. Pretty good. And I’m under orders to cook it again soon – I won’t be complaining, so tasty and so easy.
