Hi All
Tarka Dhal an absolute favourite side dish of mine, nothing quite like
the taste of dunking a Fluffy Naan into a good Tarka Dhal!
Simple to cook and always a winner!
Cheers Chewy
Tarka Dhal

Hi chewytikka

Great videos you make, thank you for taking the effort to do these and share.

I notice you have a shiny new curry pan too - very nice

Just 2 questions if I may please?

1) How do you pre-cook your split red lentils, can you please tell us the method and timing you use?

2) Tarka Dhal is one of my favourites, but I have never recieved one that was / is as runny as yours appears to be in the video. If one likes theirs thicker should one add a little less than 250ml or just reduce further?

Thanks again

Hi Solarsplace
Thanks for the kind words.
The pans the 20cm version. I bought through your recommendation on the "What Pan" thread. Ideal for doing Tarka, Eggs etc...
1. Just wash the lentils and check for stones, cover with water and boil until the water has absorbed, leaving a mushy paste, about 20mins "I guess" as I've never really timed them.

2. Just add more lentils or reduce a bit further, to have it thicker, as you like it
cheers

Hi Chewy just to say loving the vids and tips! Cheers!
