While making Dhal a couple of days ago, i think i may have over cooked it. It became thick as a mousse. 

I was frantic, and had no idea what to do or how to rectify it. There was no way i was gonna be serving that. Mummy had a wonderful idea. She told me over the phone that i needed just to add hot water from a kettle to dilute it, then mix it up really well. 

Well, sure enough, after adding some bit of boiling water, and stirring it up really well, it finally started to look like a runny gravy. Thank God!

So now, each time i have to serve it, i add water. Its almost as if its like a concentrate. I just need one or two lumps of my mousse like dhal, water and then we get dhal curry!

So great, i think i shall make this a habit. Stays longer this way.
