What are your favorite type of lentils, what do you use them in, why are they preferred for that dish than others?
I recently realized I have only had maybe 1 or two types, and upon searching them found they all supposedly taste different and have different textures.
Wherher it is for cheap decent soup or an old family recipe; slap me with some information
Okay so I’ve never had dal, or is it a dal? I’ve got so much to learn and it appears now is the best time to start
It’s dal or dhal depending on where you’re from.
It basically means “pulse stew.” Technically you could make it with split peas or edamame instead of lentils — or kidney beans, brown beans or black eyed peas.
Just like garam masala translates to “hot spice mix”. Every area has its own version and it’s up to you to find the blend you like.
