This is a beautifully aromatic, gentle dahl which is a big favourite with my eldest as it doesn’t contain any chilli. It is really quick to prepare and makes a really nice accompaniment to a more substantial curry. It also makes a nice light lunch or supper, served in a bowl with some warm wholegrain pitta bread.
