So many of our lovely guests have asked how we make our Fire Dragon Dhal Curry, so we thought we’d jot down the recipe on the website so that you can make it at home!
What Kind of Lentils or Dhal Do We Use And Why Are Lentils So Cool?
Did you know that lentils were the oldest cultivated legume?  There are four main types: Brown, Green, Red & Yellow and Speciality Lentils such as Puy or Black Beluga.Lentils are used in cooking all over the globe and are a common staple in India and the Indian subcontinent.  What’s more, they are incredibly good or you.  Lentils are high in fibre and protein.  They’re small and tend to cook quickly and, even better, they don’t have to be soaked before you cook them.One cup of cooked lentils contains around 230 calories, 18 grams of protein, 1 gram of fat, and 16 grams of fiber.Since they’re packed full of soluble and insoluble fibre, they stablise blood sugar, reduce cholesterol and aid digestion.  Full of complex carbs, your energy burns slowly.  What’s more, one cup of cooked lentils provides 90 percent of the daily recommended intake of folate (vitamin B), which helps the body build new cells and may prevent cancer.  They’re also full of magnesium, which can lift you mood and helps you absorb calcium.  And even better, the iron in these powerful pulses helps move oxygen throughout the body.Nice!We use split RED LENTILS to make our dhal curry.
