The flavors were flat. I added sugar to remove bitterness. The seasonings need tweeking, but i don't know enough about Indian flavors to get there. I won't use this recipe again. I served w/ the butter chicken (on this site) which was delicious.

I've been trying some new dahl recipes lately and this one souned interesting. I followed it precisely obtaining the uncommon ingredients at an Indian Grocery store. The directions were excellent but I can't say the same for the results. The dahl is a touch too salty and has an off taste either from the tamarind or sambar that just barely makes the dahl dfficult to embrace. A little tweaking on the spices (the level of heat is perfect) and the addition of a little bit of sweetener may bring this one around.




spicy and good

this is a tasty dish, the flavors are strong and the lentils give it a nice crunch.
