Lamb Dhansak with Burry Pulao

Dhansak is a rich and delicious curry made with lentils to create a thick, dhal-like sauce - it's sour from the addition of vinegar, yet sweetened by caramelised onions, and we're pairing it with a a fruity berry pulao (rice) on the side. Both of these dishes have their origins in the Parsi community who originally fled Persia over 1000 years ago and are now renowned across India for their sophisticated cooking.
