Dhal Gosht is the perfect hearty Indian-inspired dish, I made this yesterday and unashamedly had more for breakfast this morning 😁.
Made with a delicious blend of freshly ground spices, this dish is an absolute favourite with my little family.
I have the recipe up on my YouTube Channel which I’ve neglected for most of the year – editing is exhausting 😞 but I promise to put more effort into it.
