Indian Red Lentil Dal

One of our favourite all time trail recipes. We relish the flavours and aromas of Indian food, wherever we go, but especially out in the wild after a long day’s trek. Benefits abound: our red lentil dal is highly nutritious, containing plenty of protein, complex carbohydrates, and fibre. It’s also suitable for most dietary requirements. It's also ready in just a few minutes! For extra oomph, add a sachet of our basmati rice with turmeric and cumin (cook up separately as a side dish or toss in with the dal during cooking for a one pot sensation). Some chapatti or naan bread wouldn't go amiss, either!
