Red Lentil Dhal

I love Indian food.  Seriously love it.  Curry of all kinds, the chutneys, the bread, the rice, the spices, and especially the desserts.  I grew up in a city with a lot of Indian communities and went to a lot of different Indian restaurants in the time that we lived there.  Those are some amazing food memories.  I don’t ever remember having red lentil dhal, but the moment I saw a recipe for it I knew I would love it.  Over time I’ve kind of made my own recipe, adding spices and leaving things out.  This is my version of red lentil dhal, however un-authentic it may be.  Feel free to make it your own 🙂
