"An inexpensive, easy-to-make and delicious soup. This slightly modified recipe stems from Mumtaz Khan at Mumtaz Paan House in Bradford, England. Mung beans is the exquisite choice, but red or yellow lentils also make a delicious result (green lentils are not recommended).

"This rice dish takes very little time to prepare and most of the ingredients are found in the common kitchen.

""Dal" in Indian cooking refers to porridge like dishes made from dried legumes, usually split peas or lentils. Dal is often served in a thinned state as a soup, but equally often it will be a thick, hearty side dish. This is a thick dal, comprehensive and highly spiced enough to be the focus of a meal.

"I am usually too lazy to make my own curry, plus the take away from my local Indian restaurant is way better than anything I can usually make at home.

This is a very basic, mild curry recipe that can easily be modified to suit your..."
