Anyone had channa daal at weddings?

After reading the post on kormas at weddings I realised that at the last wedding I was at there was a lovely channa daal. Not sure if daal is the norm at weddings but if it is does anyone know of a recipe for it?

I’ve found a channa daal recipe from Rahat with loads of masala-I’ve made it and it doesn’t taste like the lovely one at the wedding.

Last question-for those of you who cook meat and daal mixed dishes does the dish taste more of meat than lentils? I love daal, other half loves meat and I’ve seen a few recipes I’d like to give a bash in the slow cooker.

I have never made chana daal without meat. It turns out great and NO, meat's taste doesn't take over the daal's flavour at all.

I have had chana daal gosht at few mehndi/mayoun functions at weddings though.

Thanks guys.

The dish was served at a Kashmiri friends wedding-they had a chicken main course and daal too, so know it's not haleem.

@ Khalil KhaaN FaaKhta-you should try first class on Turkish Airlines. They serve healthy food only on their Istanbul to Karachi route.

^ They do serve channas and puri with halwa on mehndis. Its a new menu trend for mehndis in pak and very cost effective as well. Had the chance to attend three mehndis with channas, halwa and puri as main course.

^ really? That means the UK isn't behind Pakistan as it usually is!
