Indian Dahl

A great vegetarian dish and one of our favourites. Serve with rice (the packs of instant rice work great).

What to put on label:

In the Notes section:

  • Bake, covered, for 30 minutes at 180 degrees once defrosted.
  • Serve on its own or with naan bread, pita bread, garlic bread. (These can either be supplied by yourself or the recipient can use what they have)
  • Serving size: Choose from below, depending what size foil dish you used.

 

This will make enough to fill one large family-sized foil tin (serves 6); or 2 medium foil tins (serves 3-4 each); or 4 small individual-sized foil tins (serves about 1-2 each). [These are rough measurements]
