I want you to try this dish. I think you’ll like it. If you are a fan of dhal, especially thick pulpy dhal, or dhal that you can eat with a spoon (like soup), you will definitely enjoy this vegetable dhal curry. It’s excellent with rice or roti too.
Most of the time we make plain dhal, but for many years now, I have been making various types of dhal, using a variety of peas, beans, and lentils and adding vegetables thereby converting them to some type of vegetable dhal. Don’t be confused, this is not when you just toss in a handful of spinach (callaloo) leaves. The type of vegetable dhals I have been making have vegetables in large quantities to truly make them the kind of dhal indicated – okra, spinach, pumpkin, tomato etc. However, this Vegetable Dhal Curry is somewhat different. The flavour profile is not exactly the same and it is usually referred to as a mixed vegetable dhal curry because a variety of vegetables are used to make the dish.
