English Lady , Natco is one of the best brands .. I always use them ...
Re: Lentils ..
I like Brown Lentils (masoor) and Split lentil (red daal that turns orange) the best!!! The only way I like Chana daal is in Kaddu Daal salan, or if it is added to Haleem. Otherwise I eat it but don't like it. All other daals, blah I will eat but also cant stand much. I would eat kichri made of Moong or whatever else it is, but the best Kichri is with Brown Lentils made like Pilao :)
Re: Lentils ..
You can make any daal taste yummy by complimenting it with good chutney or achaar.
Daal Chawal is also a good combination with any kind of chutney and achaar.

Re: Lentils ..
Phil, I make it pretty simple :
soak red lentils …
In two glasses water mix two chicken stock cubes
In a frying pan , roast cumin seeds and chilli flakes … then add quarter cup milk, salt to taste and the stock .. add the lentils .. let it all cook .. when the daal is fully cooked , add mixed herbs in … finally blend it with a hand blender … It will thicken … finally sprinkle some fresh corriander or herbs or even fried onions on top … Serve it with croutons or garlic bread 
Re: Lentils ..

Re: Lentils ..

Re: Lentils ..
During the months of May to July in Pakistan, if you make kachy aam ki chatni with mint and onion, the black masoor daal and chawal give you a unique taste!
