Dhal

I've tried making dhal several times before as it's one of my favourite dishes, but I've never had real success. It's always turned out lumpy, or burned, or tasteless.

But tonight I managed it so I'm very pleased with myself. I've realised that the usual yellow colour of the dhal I've bought and eaten elsewhere is not due to the use of yellow lentils, but is the result of the turmeric dye in the mix. So using red lentils, onion and a tin of tomatoes as well as the right mixture of spices I made a very decent dhal, enjoying both the cooking and the eating. Moonface liked it too, but I'm not sure about Tom.
