Mixed Lentils & Beans Dal

Posted in Recipes, Soups and Stews

I love to use spice blends when making quick meals and like to try out ones from various cuisines from around the world. They help to give a distinct flavor to a dish without having to gather a lot of spices.

Of course, curry spice blend is my favorite! Which is perhaps why I like this recipe so much!
