    Dead easy and worth making, I think, though certainly lacking the depths of my favorite dals. I'm sure I'll make it again but it's not one I'll crave.

    I have made this dal several times and enjoy it. It is a very plain dal, but it is tasty and comforting. It's not the number one dal in our household, but we do like this one well enough to repeat it from time to time.
