Title: Which lentils do you use?
Post by: Yellow Fingers on June 05, 2005, 09:35 AM

When I make dhansak it is never as strongly lentil tasting as the curry house version, so I wondered if I was using the wrong type of lentil. I've tried masoor dhal and chana dhal but neither seem to work. If I taste them after they have been cooked on their own they don't have a very strong flavour. Anyone got any ideas?
