ReplyDeleteVOW REB I am going to have a tough competitor in south indian cooking. The dal and spinach looks really yummy - hats of to u . Even a south indian chef will not add all the ingredients u have added to the dal... perfect
ReplyDeleteRebecca, you are going to get me to cook Indian sooner or later. I have to make a trip to the Asian store for the unusual ingredients I need.
ReplyDeleteI love Indian food, but for some reason I don't cook it often enough. (Though coincidentally I'm planning on making an Indian dish tonight!) This looks very yummy, and so do-able! Going on the list for sure!

ReplyDeleteLori: thats cool you could just use a little chili powder it would still be good
ReplyDeleteEasy, healthy and definitively delicious Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Lovely-I normally add a little tamarind extract too. I've even tried this with beet greens-adds a nice pink hue to the dal. Try it next time you have beet greens :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. I have so much to learn about Indian cooking. Thank you for being my (excellent) teacher.
