Monday's Pulse

A Monday night dhal: sloopy mung beans cooked with sticky onions and some lazy shakes from the spice rack. A few potatoes from the bottom of the veg box add texture to the melted pulses while a dried chilli gives a flash of red to the bland yellow-beige. Wonderfully inauthentic but fabulously forgiving, it sustains and comforts, mopped up with a coarse homemade chapati.
Flawed but perfect.
