What a Dal
This makes really good dal. However, and this is a big however, I needed to add at least another cup of water after 5 hours. It was sticking pretty badly. Not sure if that was my crockpot or the recipe. I will definitely make this again but will start with 4-5 cups of water. If anyone tries this I'd love to hear how it works for you. I'd suggest making it when you are at home the first time.
