It was delicious but too little spicy. Next time I'll add more sambar powder :) Then I wasn't sure how much water should be added to the dal? So my dish was too thick, not like the one on the image.
ReplyDeleteHonza's wife comment: I was satisfied with the density and spiciness - it was great for children. First, it was supposed to be a lunch but we had to postpone it for dinner, because Honza spent several hours buying indian spices :) Lenka
