So yesterday I shared with you the first two dishes served at our Indian Feast. Paneer with mushrooms and peas. 
And a refreshing tomato, cucumber and onion salad. 
But the real star of the show – actually came care of a free magazine I picked up at our local health food shop. Lentil Potato Dahl with Cashew Almond Sauce. I doubled the recipe, and it ended up being quite the generous dish. So much so that Mr BBB and I had leftovers for 2 nights afterwards. That’s a lot of dahl. Like so many wonderful Indian dishes, the magic came with time. 
Once the ingredients were measured, into a pot they went, then it was all a matter of time. 
Time to simmer. 
And time to let the flavours develop. And, as is often the case with dishes like these – it was even better over the next few days. Finished with a nutty yoghurt sauce.. 
Almonds, cashews, yoghurt and cayenne pepper. 
Blended, then stirred through the dahl… 
Topped with a generous amount of fresh parsley and coriander, and a sprinkle of flaked almonds. 
The result? 
A spicy, hearty and fragrant vegetarian dish. 
Packed with flavour and nutrition, 
And a perfect addition to our Indian Feast! But, of course, our feast did not stop there. For what feast would be complete without a little sweet treat to end the meal? Particularly one that involves oranges and almonds…. Part 3 to follow…. What about you? Do you have a favourite Indian dish? Happy Baking 🙂
Lisa, I love it all – my favourites being dhal and Ceylon style curries with extra spinach and spices. Quick question – how big are your serving sizes – just looking at all of those beautiful flavours and ingredients I shouldn't imagine you'd need too much at all to completely satisfy the palate?

I love Dahl and this sounds really interesting with the nut paste. What an awesome feast 🙂
ooh nutty creamy dahl – must try it
I love palak paneer-the spinach and cheese curry. I'm also mad for fish tikka and of course butter chicken although I did see how much better went into a pot of it and promptly demoted it on my ordering rotation 😛
Oh wow! I adore using cashews as a creamy sauce, but the idea of stirring it through dahl? Brilliant! Yay for free magazine recipes!
OOh jeez Indian food is by faaaar my favorite!! I used to loove butter chicken but now it's all about paneer 🙂
Oh Lisa, all of these Indian dishes are making me drool! Can't wait to see part 3 🙂
I've never been a huge fan of Indian food, but I've been coming around lately!
Mkae sure you post the exact recipe – looks really tasty!
Gassssssssssssssssp must make this. That sauce looks so beautiful!
Paneer is my favorite thing about Indian food I think!
I've never had paneer-but now I want to try it!
what a great way to use lentils!
YUM, yum, yum! That looks so good! I am definitely going to make that!
The nut paste sounds great. I love most Indian food, but my daughters absolute favourite is Tandoori Chicken.
Brilliant you are… Love a good nut paste. My fav indian dish is Butter Chicken, quiet possibly the fattiest dish on the Indian menu, but dang its the business. 🙂
I am suddenly craving Indian food. My favorite dish is Palak Paneer.
Butter chicken has always been my favourite or a rogan josh, but I do love palak paneer.
