Hi Mud

Welcome to the best curry forum.

The Dhansak can be made using the same curry gravy that the majority of BIR curries are made from. Most of the base gravy recipes here should be fit for that purpose unless otherwise stated (eg: Korma). Using the gravy method, the red split lentils are cooked separately (turning yellow), and then added during the curry cooking stage.

If you use search at the top of the home page there is plenty of info on Dhansaks.

Hi Chris  ;), I tend to do a batch of base sauce and use it for everything, as you do get a large pot full of the stuff, so there is plenty to freeze for next time. When that runs out I might try another base recipe that gives me a freezer full.  ;D

Welcome to the family by the way  ;D Enjoy your stay my friend........
