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 is a very traditional, classic, reliable recipe, using a pressure cooker to cook the oily toovar dhal separately first.

    Easy (infinitely more so if you opt for tamarind paste, not pulp) and so, so good.
