Our organic canned Vaal Dhal is inspired by the cuisine of Gujarat in northern India but we use only British-grown fava beans, cooked with a blend of mild and aromatic spices. Needing just a little heat and a good stir our dhal is ready to eat as a satisfying side dish or can be cooked with other ingredients to create a more substantial curry. Try adding water or stock for a curry soup.

Delicious, nutritious and good for the soil, fava beans are a variety of broad bean, Vicia faba, left to ripen and dry before harvest. They’re also known as field beans, horse beans, Windsor beans or ful.
Suitable for vegans and vegetarians
When I'm hungry for lunch, or dinner, or just home-alone, and urgently want something that's nutritious, filling and tasty to eat, this is my go-to food. A tray of them in the larder is essential for daily use and for a survival store. It's a meal for one, or add a bit of water to make 2 bowls of soup. Add some creamed coconut or coconut oil to make it richer. Perfect!
Really tasty and convenient. If you have access to a microwave and a bowl, this couldn't be easier. So much healthier than a sandwich!
Great when needing something quick to cook to I also use these as the base of a curry, excellent flavours.
Delicious
A great quick, healthy lunch that tastes great too!

As a longtime fan of Hodmedod’s I’ve been waiting for this book to arrive and gift to friends and family. No longer will there be a bag of dried peas languishing at the back of the cupboard or any procrastinating over what to do with my fava beans. This book is stuffed with delicious-sounding recipes and beautiful photographs that I want to make and share with others. There are lots of comfort food ideas which is just what I crave in the colder months as well as lighter recipes; all of them full of flavour, fibre and protein. It’s an interesting, though-provoking read even if you don’t do much cooking and left me feeling joyful, inspired and thankful that the need for and appreciation of diversity is expressed and runs richly through this book.
Your book offers recipes inspired by cooking styles from around the world while using your diverse range of British ingredients. I would like to try the different flat breads made with rye, emmer, buckwheat and pea flour. This book contributes to helping people eat better and cook their own food with ingredients grown with care for the land. Thank you 🤩
This granola is delicious, especially with blueberries and banana and topped with yoghurt or coconut kefir. I’ll definitely be buying again :).
I used these to make humous for the first time. I swear it tastes almost exactly the same as when made with chickpeas and so much nicer than shop bought. Very smooth and takes on the garlic and lemon flavours beautifully. Will use for dips again in the future.
Extremely tasty rye flour with a sweet malty taste. Mixed half and half with white spelt flour, it gives a loaf with great depth of flavour and nice, springy texture. Makes great toast.
