Hi
Does anyone have a fail safe dahl or other side dish recipe, perhaps with variations from the norm?

Does anyone have a fail safe dahl or other side dish recipe, perhaps with variations from the norm?
This is my usual:
4oz mung dhal (split green peas)
4oz masoor dhal (red lentils) (Can use just red)
1 chopped onion
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp turmeric
2-2 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin seeds
ginger
chillies
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tin tomatoes
fresh coriander
tomato puree
mushrooms
Clean lentils and peas. Wash in several changes of water. Drain. Add 1 1/2 pints of water to lentils in a pan and boil. Lower heat and add salt and turmeric. Simmer on low heat for 30-45 mins or until lentils are mulchy and tender. Stir gently to prevent sticking when necessary.
Fry onions until golden brown and and mushrooms.
Add cumin seeds and ginger. Add tomatoes, garam masala and chillies. Add tomato puree.
Stir and fry 5 mins. Add to dhal.
Add spinach to dahl (or microwave first and add). Simmer until spinach wilted. Add fresh coriander at end.
