Upon my return to North America (from India), I have noticed that Dal has become quiet popular. Pretty much anybody who is a little savvy of Indian cuisine knows what dal is. However, I have seen and tasted many versions of this recipe that doesn’t taste anything like what dal is supposed to taste like. The north American version of dal is far far away from the real stuff. First of all nowhere in India is dal made with coconut milk – please stop putting coconut milk in it. I understand the concept of tweaking flavors to match your taste palette – trust me when I say in India Paneer Makhni is a very popular flavor in Pizza….but at the same time people eating it know that…
