Mung Bean Dal
On a cold rainy day in summer, all I could think about was the Dishoom house black dal. After months of not eating it I had completely forgotten how it tasted, but I decided to go along with my gut and create a dish inspired by it.

As usual, I like my recipes to be as versatile as possible- so you can absolutely use this as a base and make blueberry pancakes, cinnamon swirl, choc chip etc… The pancake itself isn’t super sweet so you can go as wild as you want to when it comes to the syrupy and sweet toppings
