    This recipe reminds me of my days living in Toronto back in the mid 80's. My roommate was from Trinidad and she got me hooked on Dhal. I had long forgot how to make this dish and was delighted to find this recipe. I did crush the geera and used ghee instead of oil. Ghee is the only way to go. Thanks for sharing this recipe that's full of flavor and fond memories

    Trinidadian Dhal,Personally I find this a bit bland but it is a traditional comfort food for my DH. He loves this with plain rice and fried fish or as a soup on it’s own. If made without pepper, I find it to be a useful side dish to a very hot spicy curry.,This recipe reminds me of my days living in Toronto back in the mid 80’s.
