This is a such a simple but incredibly tasty dhal from the main chef at Polowaththa Eco Lodges. The Polowaththa Curry Powder really is a game changer when cooking dishes from this region and has changed our perception about what a curry powder really is.
This is a one pot recipe that is well worth the try!
