Being a meat eater at heart i very rarely look a vegetable curries,
I have just made this Masoor Dal and WOW.
It was simply fantastic, although i did add cubed potatoes which i lightly fried in the spiced oil and then removed them to add back in later when i added the lentils and water.
Next on the list is a chickpea curry to try.
This was the 3rd recipe of yours that i have done:
Achar Gosht, Bhuna Gosht and now Masoor Dal.
Got to say that they have all tasted really good.
Thank you for the recipes
