[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Dal is a term for a variety of dishes made from dried, split pulses, like lentils, beans, and peas, that are slow-cooked until soft and porridge-like. The word "dal" comes from Sanskrit and means "to split". [b]It's a soup, so you don't pour it over rice.[/b] "Curry" means a saucy dish in which you put meat or vegetables, on top of rice. Dal is more watery than curry. [/quote] Dal chawal (lentils and rice) is the most common way to eat dal! Dal is not a soup at all, and is more like a curry in how it is consumed (with rice or roti).[/quote]
