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

Thanks, the tempering is meant to be mixed in or just drizzled across the top like a mustard seed dressing?
Tempering is when you fry up the spices a little first, then pour into the dhal. A hidden secret is to pour a few laddle fulls of dhal onto that hot fry pan and pour back into the pot to increase flavour.
