Thanks, Azelia. I too like mine with some texture but I don’t always manage to achieve it. I find that dal often takes on a life of it’s own when cooking and I don’t always manage to control how it turns out.

I like mine like yours here with a bit of texture if I’m eating as a main part of my meal.

Asofoetida is a very strange smelling spice, CC. According to Camelia Panjabi, it’s mostly used as an aid to digestion since the dal can be quite hard going.
