Great taste

I'll have to keep looking because I cook for someone on low sodium. Way too much salt. Way too much cayenne. Package says "mild" but had a ton of cayenne & black peppercorn. By the time I kept adding potato, extra vegetables, extra fresh tomato, coconut milk to cut the saltiness a bit. All I could taste was the heat of the pepper still & not much else. At least don't add whole package like I did, maybe less to start & have other fresh herbs, ginger & other things for flavor.

This was everything that I was looking for -- a new flavor, strong punch, low calorie with a soul-food feeling. Admittedly, I'm not from India or really part of the culture in any meaningful way, but my understanding was the food was powerfully hot and tastes best when the spices are fresh. As a person searching for a new tummy patting bowl of spicy peaceful bliss, this did it for me. Putting the compliments aside, I have some additional information. First, you'll need Mung Beans for this recipe, which fortunately were available at a local Sprouts Farmers Market or via Amazon. I used whole organic mung beans, although the recipe called for split. I skipped the ghee and used a small amount of olive oil (this probably was why my version was flaming hot). My cooking technique wasn't stove top -- instead I used 60 minutes on high pressure for pressure cooking in an InstantPot.

Great as usuall

It was ok. I know what daal is suppose to taste like. It was an interesting impression of this dish but there is still something lacking. I would reccomend exploring other brands to see what is the closest to restaurant style.

I used about 1/5-1/4 of this packet in a lentil soup of about 5-6 servings. It made the soup very flavorful. Use this seasoning to kick your lentil soup up a notch! Love this spice mix.
