  1. we enjoyed this. i grated the ginger (it just says peeled) and added 4 cloves of minced garlic. I was a bit leery of the microwave instructions, but followed them and it worked. This was a nice dal which my husband and i both enjoyed.

I'm a work at home mom who loves cooking. I also have two pugs who are always more than happy to be guinea pigs when I try new dishes! I don't have that many recipes posted (YET!) but if anyone takes the time to try one of my recipes, PLEASE post an HONEST review. The onl thing I would ask, is that I'd love to know what you did or did not like about it. I'm still learning, so input is greatly appreciated!!!
