    Check the chana dal pack before cooking! I made this and it went very wrong, I had a flavourful broth with little firm chana dal in it. I checked the pack after my failed dinner and it said to soak for a minimum of 4 hours instead!! Will try again with more time as the flavours in this look amazing.

    Very small portion sizes. The Chanal Dal needs much much longer to soak and cook. Coconut milk did not separate oil at all, should this be coconut cream? Flavours were nice but I would double everything in the ingredients and triple the cooking time.
