I love your photo of all the spices side-by-side. That way I get to see all the yummy goodness before it gets ground to a pulp!

Ciao Brii, l urad dal è un tipo di lenticchie bianche che di solito vengono tostate e aggiunge ai misti di spezie. Si trovano facilmente nei negozi specializzati in articoli etnici. Si possono sostituire con le arachidi, ma ovviamente il sapore è un po differente.
