President's Black Dal (Mild)

Description

Akila’s version of the iconic black dal served at the Presidential Palace in India.

Add a dollop of butter before serving to make it restaurant style. Most restaurants try and add too much butter and cream. We build layers of flavours by traditionally slow cooking. – Chef Akila.

    August Order

    The site is easy to navigate and arranging delivery on a date that suited me simple enough. Great range of meals all with a good explanation of each meal.
    On the date my order was due, I received a message from DPD as expected giving a 2hr time slot. My order arrived within the time slot. Meals well packaged and still frozen, therefore I had no worries transferring them straight into my freezer to enjoy at my convenience
