The flavour is beautiful and I love making dhal in the slow cooker, but I needed about an extra 3 cups of water in this as it was dried out and sticking to the slow cooker by the 2nd hour. Next time I will try making it on low rather than high.
I wish I’d read the review first, I’ve come home to it very dry and the edges burnt after only its first 90mins but it does smell great so I’ve transferred to a pot and added some more water
I wish I had read these reviews before I started, 1.25cups of stock is ridiculous for the amount of lentils and peas. This recipe needs to be adjusted to correct amounts. What a waste of time, effort and food.

Hi all, sincere apologies for issues with the liquid amount. There is an error in the recipe originally loaded and the stock amount should be 1 1/4 litres, not 1 1/4 cups!!!!
Wow Delicious,followed the instructions worked fine for me xx
Thank so much for your feedback Andrew – so valued 🙂
