Firepot Dal and Rice with Spinach

Everybody loves the simplicity of dal. Healthy ingredients that pack a warming punch. The secret to a good dal is in the lentils; holding enough shape to provide a crunch, with a softness that fills your mouth with flavour. Firepot tested every type of lentil they could find, cooking dal after dal, looking for one that worked. But they soon realised no single type could provide everything they wanted — so they chose five.

Together they give the right blends of texture and flavour, with the ability to soak up all that spice. Combined with aromatic basmati rice and crisp, green spinach, this dal is guaranteed to leave you feeling full and satisfied, with a heat that’s comforting but not too hot. Perfect for those cold nights on the mountains.
