    Great recipe and the comments here are helpful.

    Next time, as per comments I'd increase the spices:
    - 1.5 tsp each of cumin, coriander and garam masala. 2 tsp if your spices are a bit older
    - 1 t salt or equiv thermo vegetable stock

    This made 6 cups, so ~6 serves. I froze the leftovers in 1 cup portions.

    This is so quick, easy and delicious. I always have these ingredients on hand.

    I don't add any chilli at all.


    thanks for sharing.

    I cooked this dal tonight. Followed The recipe exactly as directed. I added some corriander stems that I had in the freezer. It turned out good, but I think it could be improved. Next time I will use stock instead of water and add garam masala, as others have.

    Doubled, maybe tripled, the spices. Added some Keens curry powder & turmeric. Served with rice, yoghurt & parsley because I didn't have fresh coriander. Quick & really tasty dinner from what I had on hand, can't ask for better than that 😎

    Absolutely delicious on cold winter night. I added, 1 tsp Keen's curry powder, sprinkle of chilli flakes, 1/4 tsp 100% pure tumeric powder, half tin coconut milk, 1 potato,1 carrot, 1 whole capsium. It turned out perfect not watery not too thick.
    cooked for 10min's then stirred myself with spatula then another 10min's then stirred myself with spatula then last 5min's.
    Served with Brown Rice/Quinoa on side 👌🏼

    Pretty good!

    I added a spoon of dried vege stock, heaped the teaspoons of spices, used bottled ginger and garlic. Put in the whole can of coconut milk but it was too runny. I ended up putting it in a saucepan at the end to reduce the mixture which was heaps better. Next time I might omit the water and see how that goes. I didn't have a capsicum so added more carrot. To serve I put spinach in the bottom of the bowl, a drizzle of tamari and a dollop of natural yoghurt on top. Yum 😋

    Does this recipe freeze well? I'm just cooking for one, so freezing would be a selling point! Thanks.

    Absolutely delicious. I left out the chilli and added a squeeze of lime, 1 tablespoon of stock and 1 teaspoon of salt. Devoured by everybody.
