Looking for a dinner to well and truly satisfy your appetite? Well, there's nothing like a thick, delicious dal to send those hunger pangs packing. This lightly spiced vegan dish is made with a not-so-secret ingredient – Kikkoman Soy Sauce – to really fire up the umami factor. And that's not all. It's also topped off with a punchy green chilli, mint and coriander chutney that's seriously moreish.
