DAALS (lentils)
There are many types of daal and they come in different colours ranging from browns to bright orange. Although they are similar to look at their individual taste is unique. The basic ways in which daal is cooked:

	Cooked simply as a daal dish which is very much like a rich soup full of roasted, rich spices like cumin, cardamons and bay leaves
	Made as a dry daal curry which has very little liquid but is very moist almost like mashed potatoes.
	Added to a meat dish to enhance flavour and texture such as lamb braised in black cardamom, cloves and bay leaves.
