Directions
Kali Dal (Dahl, Dhal, Daal),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.,I am out of beluga AND le puy lentils so used plain brown ones. DELICIOUS! And the cream gave it the coziness that we needed on the coolest night so far this season.,The aroma had the entire house swooning. The taste didn’t disappoint. used a different variety of lentils, even though the dish is called Kali for the black lentils, and it was fine. I had to omit cream at the end but that also was fine. This was by far the easiest Indian dish I’ve made to date. Once again, food processor saves the day.
