Supermarket shelves are empty. I managed to buy Lentils, Chickpeas, Rice and some spices at the local Indian Shop….I am feeling blessed 🙂
I have never cooked Dhal, it’s been on my bucket list to do and now I finally have the basic ingredient.
I am now researching recipes for making dhal that are too complicated.
A dear little aged Indian lady customer said to cook rice with the Dahl.
Take care Ally.

Sweet potato patties? Whoa, I might need a recipe. Sounds very delish!

They were delish. There was no real recipe. I just cooked sweet potato, mashed it and then added some cooked lentils, a sprinkle of flour to combine, any seasoning you fancy and a dash of water. Cook in a pan on a medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side. Cooking time will depend on what size you make the patties….Enjoy 😋

Hey Ally! That’s awesome that you’re trying to cook dal for the first time.
I’d recommend you check out a Youtube channel called ‘Hebbar’s Kitchen’ (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPPIsrNlEkaFQBk-4uNkOaw).
She’s got some great vegetarian recipes, including many on dal. They’re super easy, and fun to watch (and cook).
All the best!😊💛

It is not difficult to cook Dhal. I am from Sri Lanka and yes it can be eaten with Rice or with bread. Do you want a simple way of cooking it. It is usually cooked in Coconut Milk. But if you don’t have Coconut milk you can use fresh milk also. Happy cooking ❤ 🙂 ❤

Thank you for your comments. I couldn’t get any Coconut Milk but did manage to get Coconut Cream. I am lactose intolerant and do manage well with alternatives. Stay safe and be well 🙂❤
