I like dhal. It's a tasty, colourful, cheap, nutritious, easy, dish to make. I prefer to make it as a side for curries, veg, etc., but sometimes I'm too tired or lazy to cook more than one dish.
Dhal with rice can be a touch on the bland side, so I was delighted to see that Vegan Dad had posted a recipe for dhal with a twist: Tarka Dhal.
Now my photo looks pretty different to his, and I did adjust the recipe slightly.
I didn't have sweet onions, so I just used a red onion and added a teaspoon of brown sugar to take the edge off its taste. I also added a teaspoon of chilli flakes to the tomato mixture. It was super punchy, so I didn't miss the garam masala which I usually add to dhal :)

Yum! I love dhal in every shape and form. Will give this recipe a try once i get back to melbourne.
That picture looks glorious! And frankly I think it's pretty hard to make dahl look glorious, even though it IS delicious. I've bookmarked this to try...
Thanks guys, I hope it turns out well for you both... I think it's hard not to! I've been having cravings for this recently... mmmm...
