KALI DAL (DAHL, DHAL, DAAL)



Kali Dal (Dahl, Dhal, Daal) image

Matt makes this yummy dal from a book called A Little Taste of India. It is similar to Dal Makhani, so if you like that you should like this, too. It has great authentic flavour. We use ghee for the oil, but we'll leave it up to you.
