Dharma Dahl Bowl at Noorish

Dharma Dahl Bowl at Noorish, a photo by raise my voice on Flickr.

I wanted something warm. Something comforting. I found it at Noorish, where I lunched yesterday.

The Dharma Dahl Bowl was incredible. This was my first time having dhal. It was a thick lentil soup (or stew) with tomatoes and eggplant. Spicy, but not too hot, and finished with cilantro. The brown rice on the side went well in terms of flavour and texture. I thought the chili oil would be too hot, but it actually reminded me more of sesame sauce and I used it generously on the rice.

Pity this is only served on Tuesdays. I could go for this any time.
