Did you know you can now buy pre boiled dhall in a can. For purists who want to boil the lentils from scratch. Give the can chance and cook the curry sauce the best way you like. It takes five minutes and a great cupboard filler for when unexpected guests arrive

The humble potatoe makes the best allop get. Delicious and perfect everytime. Today we added baby bell peppers (red and yellow). Start with ghee and coconut oil. Add in mustard seeds until they pop. Add in a small onion,
Curry leaves and ginger and garlic with very little spices. We used tumeric powder and added chillies and sprinkled garam masala.
Cook still
Soft and eat with Roti, or to her perfect white bread with butter and pickles are equally delicious.
