Dal or dhal is a dried pulse which has been split. The outer hull is usually stripped off; dal that has not been hulled is described as chilka (skin), e.g. chilka urad dal, mung dal chilka.

Dhal is the Indian staple made from split pulses. They’re high in fibre, full of good protein, low in calories, fat-free, quick and easy to cook, reasonable cheap, substantial, versatile and delicious. It can serve with rice or naan bread. The chana dhal, an Indian chickpea, used most often to make dhal in India. But now, most of the people use the yellow split peas, red or green lentil instead. Split peas will give a slightly creamier dhal. If you can’t find fresh curry leaves, you can use frozen one like me.

Just bought a large cauliflower from our local bargain corner,  what a happy day!

Can’t make the decision to choose which recipe I will use, because I got lots of idea in my mind, such as: cauliflower cheese, macaroni  cheese with cauliflower, stir fry,…………but that’s too simple and I want to have a bit challenge. An idea came up to my mind instantly, I remembered that I read some blog before, they made some good idea with cauliflower, why not I have a try.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the feast and mooncakes has to be put a stop now! Such a hectic and tiring week, but worth it, you’ll see the family and friends are all enjoy it, you’ll forget all the hard work, right?

Today, I just only need a simple and easy, not much time consuming meal, so I think about why not have a light sandwich or wrap for a change.
