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.

    This ticks all the boxes, quick and easy prep, one pan, store cupboard ingredients. Gentle spicing (added 1tsp garam masala} and colourful. Added 2 coley portions for the final 10 mins of cooking. Served over pilau rice. Perfect, easy Sunday night dinner.

    A very quick and easy dhal recipe, took even less time to prep and cook than the stated 15 and 35 minutes respectively. Made as written, apart from the curry leaves, which I didn't have on hand. I think next time I might also add some frozen peas, just to up the veg content a bit. It's not a wow dish, but a good one to have to get something on the table quickly.
