Good idea to have the dahl with a drier vegetable curry. We had a vegetarian takeout from a curry house the other night, as there wasn't much of interest in the mains, it was composed of multiple side dishes.

We ended up with a couple of tablespoons of each thing, including sag aloo (spinach and potato), stuffed paratha (like a naan but filled with spiced greens), a dry chickpea dahl, a dish of mixed veg in a sweet and spicy coconut sauce, and a vegetable pilau rice.

Next time I'm going to bypass the curry house and cook and freeze Indian dishes ahead to serve like that when we fancy a curry. A portion of vegetable curry and a portion of dahl both from the freezer then some fresh made pilau rice or bought naan - plus a couple of jars of pickle to serve - would make a fabulous feast. Quick too.
