Masoor Dhal, Pakistani Version Sameer Hasham
Healthy Hints
Dhal is a very healthy food, so don’t be too put off by the warning above. All you need to do is replace the ghee with a tablespoon of healthier fats like rapeseed, canola, corn or sunflower oil. This will reduce the amount of saturated fat you get in a serving, helping you keep an eye on your blood cholesterol.
