Super tasty! My favourite Dahl recipe
Yum ! Made this tonight, best Dahl that I have made in Thermomix yet. Thank you.
Made this tonight. Had to use dry ginger and only had fresh tomatoes and carrot to ad for the vegetables at the end. Still yum
Very nice but I bumped up the spices
Made this for dinner tonight. The boys (4 and 18 mths) like it and hubby enjoyed it too. I tried carrot and sweet potato as it was all we had left and did the water/tinned tomato option. I think next time I will add the extra cup of water as well as the tomatoes as it was very thick. It will be great to try this again as a base with different veggies!
Awesome! very tasty!!!
Yum!!!!! Thankyou. I added probably 2 1/2 cups of vegies - pumpkin, potato, celery, zuchini, carrot. I did the tin of tomatoes and water option.
Very nice, quick and super easy. My 4 yr old and 18 month old loved it! I also used tomato and water combo. I used coconut oil instead of vegetable/ ghee and it gave it a great hint of flavor.
Delicious recipe. I used tomato & water combination & lime juice on top. Thanks.
