We love Padma Lakshmi, and we will miss seeing her as host of Top Chef. We decided to try her dal recipe: https://www.padmalakshmi.com/dal-recipe It was delicious and comforting.
In her video demonstration of this recipe on Instagram, she mentioned adding amchoor (green mango) powder for tartness at the end. We substituted with about 1 tsp (or more) tamarind powder (Mama Sita sinigang sa sampalok), and it completed the dish. (June 2023)
