iso - urad dal recipes

[Guest guest]

hi!

 

I just bought a bag of urad dal. I understand I can use some as a

seasoning/thickener -- but that would use tablespoons at a time. I'm looking

for recipes that are good examples for how this bean is used . Do you have a

recipe you'd like me to try?

I found black mustard seed at a local " sweets and spice " store.

Pat,

 

I wish that I could help, but I do not even know what “DAL” is. Is it like

a lentil?
