Notes: Dal may be prepared and frozen after boiling the lentils as above .
Cool and freeze and when needed you could add the chutney with added garlic and when done garnish with cilantro.
Or you could freeze the finished Dhal as is.
Note: you could add about 1/2 cup spinach or eggplant to Dhal.
Note : Red lentils cook very quickly.
There are a variety of other dhals like pea, chana, masoor and moong dahl.
