Title: Cull yaw dhansak / Laila dal tadka
Post by: Peripatetic Phil on December 20, 2024, 10:47 AM
As I have a fair amount of pre-cooked cull yaw to use up, and as I wanted a change from cull yaw biriani, I though I would attempt to make a cull yaw dhansak.  As far as I can tell there are no dedicated recipes for either lamb or mutton dhansak on the forum, so I decided to try Richard Sayce's version (https://mistyricardo.com/dhansak-curry-recipe/), which calls for "pre-cooked dhal".  And serendepitously, when I was in Farmfoods yesterday, I noticed that they had 300gm packs of Laila dal tadka (https://suryafoodsonline.com/products/south-asian/laila/dal-tadka-4920-28813) which I thought might (a) fit the bill, and (b) cut down on preparation.  So a simple question, "does anyone have experience of Laila dal tadka ?", and if so "what do you think of it, and do you think it would work well in Richard's recipe ?  And I suppose I should ask at the same time "does anyone think that there is a better dhansak recipe than Richard's on which I should base my attempt ?".

Popping out to Farm foods later Phil for some doner meat.  Will see if I can get some of the Laila dal too.  Not a curry I have made very often.  Think I used Mick Crawford's recipe in the past.  Was a long time ago though.
