Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    A decent enough dal. I added turmeric and lime (per Priya Krishna's basic recipe) to the pot, which was a good choice, I think. Good for a fast weeknight dinner.

    Nice basic dal. I used the larger amount of water and was a little concerned at how watery it looked after opening the pot, but after a stir and letting it sit for 10 mins or so while I made the tarka it thickened up to a nice creamy consistency, perfect over some rice. I used a whole (rather large) jalapeño and was a little worried it would be on the spicy side, but it really wasn't at all. Next time I might use a touch more ginger.

    Even with the oil a bit burned, this was pretty tasty. My preference is to have the spices cooked with the dal - the dal by itself doesn't have much going on. Quick weekday meal.

    Not the best dal I've ever had (my favorite being the Daily Dal from Made in India), but this made a very easy, satisfying weeknight dinner with some naan. Probably would not repeat when there are so many other dals to try, though.
