Working on curry recipes is becoming a bit of a thing during weekends. I think we’ve got over 20 curries in our curry section now! We’ve had quite a few reader requested curries, and I’m slowly starting to build up a collection of side dishes to serve with that old Friday night favourite.Is there something you’d like to see in there?
What does dhansak taste like?
Dhansak is quite a mild curry with a lovely thick sauce - make thick by the addition of red lentils. The lentils are cooked for long enough that they start to break down in the sauce, which adds a slight creaminess.It’s also got a tomato flavour, plus a bit of tanginess from pineapple chunks and juice.Some versions that you get from a takeaway or restaurant can be quite hot. My version is mild, but you can spice it up by adding more hot chilli powder.
