I received the Dishoom cookbook for Christmas, I’m trying the Daal first :/. They don’t say if I should cover the Daal while cooking. It seems like it would be far too watery with a lid on. They even talk of adding water if it gets low.

Follow-up edit: mistakes were made but ok for a first try. I left it off and simmering for 1.5hrs but it was still pretty watery. I should have started with less water. Then I forgot the cream until after the first bowl… Oops. Thanks for all the tips!

The way the recipe is written it looks like you leave the lid off.

  Thanks y’all! It’s by far the most scratch made Indian food I have ever tried.

    You’re going to love it.
    
    Amazing flavours, cheap ingredients and not overly reliant on meat.
