What side dishes go well with the red lentil dal?
The Indian Lentil stew is usually served with naan (flat bread). Thin and crispy, it goes very well with the lentil dal. You can dip the bread in the lentils and dip.
Our vegan lentil dal scores with a large number of different spices. The many different flavors can be combined very well with brown rice.
Quite often the lentil stew is prepared spicy. For those who find it too spicy, it is best to take a spoonful of natural yogurt and pour it over the dal just before eating. Natural yogurt neutralizes the spiciness without adulterating the taste.
So in summary: Naan, rice and plain yogurt are the perfect side dish for a fiery dal.
