I like this dahl just on its own, but it would go well with a crisp green salad, or a few cooked veggies. I cook this again and again, it goes great with other curry dishes as a side dish too.
Stir in lentils and tomatoes, chopped up and their juice, so oil coats the grains.
Add the water and simmer for 20 minutes until the lentils are falling apart.
While the dahl is cooking, put the rice in a pan with lots of boiling, salted water. Simmer for a few minutes until just cooked. Drain well in a sieve.
Serve the rice and dhal, with a crisp green salad or some broccoli if you have any. Although super nice just as it is.
