    Made this for the Royal Wedding bash at my Mum's. It was really delicious, and so easy. Used light coconut milk so kept the calories down, and served with warm naan. Next door Veggie asked for the recipe. This is one I'll be making again and again.

    Have made this previously to the recipe and it's so easy and mega tasty. Last night made with chickpeas instead (blunder in the supermarket) and blended it down with a bit of creme fresh - made an amazing hoummous!

    Perhaps I did something wrong but I did not rate this at all. I found the lime and the cream a strange mixture although I love Thai food with coconut milk and lime often found in that so not sure why it was different here. will try another dhal recipe.
