    A quick side dish I make as an accompaniment to lamb curry or Indian style dal or chickpeas/chole. I also love having this dish all by itself for lunch.

      Excellent and quick! We loved this. I had to substitute the turmeric with a pinch of saffron and 1/4 tsp mustard powder. I plan on picking up more turmeric and trying this recipe again so I can take a great picture for this recipe. If you like quick and flavorful, I highly recommend this dish!! Thanks for sharing!
