Easy Sweet Potato Dal

Dal is one of those dishes that’s so warming you want to curl up in your bathrobe and eat it with the fireplace on. This dish can be super complex or super easy and in my experience there is 1,000 ways to make it! Regardless, it’s a very inexpensive, high protein dish that is packed with flavor. I freakin’ love every version of it I’ve ever tried. Here is one of my versions, I hope you love it!
