This eddoe lentil curry (arbi dal) is a quick and easy Indian / Pakistani recipe - perfect for a fuss-free midweek dinner after work. Sticky, slightly sweet eddoes (taro root - also called arbi) goes so well with red lentils in this recipe. I was introduced to this combination by someone from Pakistani Punjab. In this vegan and gluten-free recipe, eddoes and lentils are cooked with tomatoes, lots of onion and garlic and they're spiced to perfection with traditional Indian spices. Pair this arbi dal with fluffy basmati rice, wholemeal roti and a selection of pickles for a perfect dinner.
