  Second dhal mention I’ve seen. I need to learn how to make a good dhal it seems. Never had one I don’t think

      Thanks, the tempering is meant to be mixed in or just drizzled across the top like a mustard dressing?

        Tempering is when you fry up the spices a little first, then pour into the dhal. A hidden secret is to pour a few laddle fulls of dhal onto that hot fry pan and pour back into the pot to increase flavour.

    I do a dhal in the slow cooker at least once a week. Once you mix yourself a decent garam masala, it doesn’t really matter what else you add beyond the lentils. I usually toss in a can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste; then some chicken breasts or some ground beef, or sometimes keep it vegan.

    Adjust to taste, and it’s a meal that takes 5 minutes to prep in the morning for a delicious dinner ready to serve in the evening.

      Any particular recipe you use for the garam masala?
