This recipe makes the best Dal I've had at home ever... and it's so authentic! It reminds me of the Dal I used to have at my best friend's place during my school days. The only possible change I'd make is to increase the amount of red peppers for a little more 'heat'. Also, you can omit the rice, and drink this as a wonderful lentil soup. It's great for when you have a really bad cold, and need something to warm you up. Thanks for sharing this one... I'm sooo gonna make it over and over!

I've never had Lentil Dal before. It was fairly bland to me, from my experience with curry type dishes. I do love the idea that it is a healthy vegetarian dish. I would make it again for myself since I love to eat healthy, but I would never make it for company or a hot date.
