    Can substitute vegetable oil or coconut oil for ghee, black mustard seeds for brown mustard seeds, and lemon juice for lime juice. See recipe for variations.

    This is a great pantry recipe that comes together relatively quickly. The flavour didn’t blow me away but it was quite tasty and I’m sure leftovers will be delicious. All in all I would make it again.

    Not the best dal I've ever made, but easy and tasty enough. I liked the lime - a full four tablespoons was great.
