Indian Dal Recipes

Welcome to my collection of dal recipes. Dal is the ultimate Indian comfort food and those of us with Indian roots eat this soupy lentil dish nearly every day with rice or roti. All recipes in this collection are cooked in my kitchen. They include traditional dishes, my original recipes designed for the modern kitchen, and regional specialties like dhansak and sai bhaji.

If you're new to cooking Indian food, start with a simple dal recipe like yellow lentil dal that's perfect for everyday meals, or this easy tomato dal. Looking for a more restaurant-style dish? Try vegan dal makhani or dal tadka.
