What a beautifully written recipe! The rich aroma and comforting depth of this creamy butter masala dahl inspire me to gather my ingredients tonight. I appreciate how clearly you outline both the classic version and the vegan-friendly option using coconut cream — it shows passion and inclusivity in cooking. As a brand focused on flavourful, clean-label savoury toppers, we especially admire how you highlight simple swaps that keep taste high and fuss low. Looking forward to trying this and recommending it to our Crusaders of Crunch! Thanks for sharing such a warm and welcoming recipe. 🙌
