I tried to make dal. The combination of yellow lentils and brown spices resulted in a very unappetising colour. Taste was good by appearance was very not. Ate a bit, but ended up making a toasted sandwich instead. Also, today the hem of my jeans came undone and then later, I noticed a black scuff on my car after coming home from supermarket. One of those days filled with irritating inconveniences. Gonna park myself on the couch and watch tv.
The trick to making dal is to toast the spices properly. Onion, garlic, spices. Keep mixing until aromatic. Then add lentils until coated. Add liquid. Boil. Simmer until soft.
One of the great 'babyshit tan' dishes. Still yum though. Enjoy!
