Always partial to a bit of daal with most things curry, this is a stunning dip with naan bread (see here) Great with curry, by itself with steamed rice or just serve with steamed veggies to add a flavour boost. You can add some cooked chicken to this and serve with rice, lemon wedges and chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) for a wonderful easy meal! Not strictly 'daal' with the addition of coconut cream, but I can assure you, you'll be calling me a real 'dahl'! (Yes folks that is how us Aussies say ‘Darling’.)
Serve with any or all of the following or head over HERE and get your hands on my Currying Flavour Cookbook;
