Dhansak is a spicy hot yet almost sweet and sour curry, which comprises of either meat or prawns combined with a lentil dahl. It is also possible to make a vegetarian version of this dish by using either paneer (Indian cheese) or a basic vegetable curry in place of the meat or fish.
Dhansak is originally a Persian dish although the dhansak you are most likely to experience at your local curry restaurant would use a simple tarka dahl of split red lentils combined with tomatoes and occasionally fruit such as pineapple with the main meat or fish ingredient. |
