    • Tips

    • * Goes well with ROAST VEGETABLES.
      * Mix left-over DAHL and RICE, leave overnight then roll into balls and bake on oiled baking sheet - makes tasty, spicy balls that can be eaten hot or cold with salad.
      *Read ingredients of Curry Pastes to ensure Vegan - Thai Pastes often have 'shrimp paste' and Indian 'whey' or 'milk powder'.
      * DAHL freezes well.

    So nutritious, economical and easy to make! Use any vegan curry flavouring - goes well with vegetables of the season and rice.
