Lentil curries have been eaten in India as far back as people can remember. It was the protein of choice for India’s large vegetarian population, but was also advocated by Ayurvedic doctors as the healthiest choice of protein. Over the centuries, it has become one of the most eaten dishes in India.

Our Spicy Tarka Daal kit makes a delicious lentil curry with a combination of buttery, nutty lentils nestled in spicy sauce of caramelised onions, tangy tomatoes, ginger and garlic and, of course, chillies. This daal is the ideal store-cupboard basic as it comes with everything you need to make it and cooks in just minutes.

Lentil curries make delicious side dishes, but are often the star of the show, served with some flatbreads or rice and vegetables on the side. You can add bits in to make a one-pot meal, or use them as an ingredient and create wonderful complex dishes with it!  We have lots of recipes in our ‘Cook’ section to get you started.
