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.
Also available as part of our Big Vegan Box
Vaal Dhal is ready to eat and just requires a good stir and a little heat.

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
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!

I often find fava beans a bit bitter (is it just me?!) so have previously just used them in quite heavily flavoured dishes. Not these ones though - no bitterness at all - just really tasty. I often eat them just with a bit of seasoning and drizzle of oil!
This unusual flour is something everyone should try. I use it in sourdough and yeasted bread, and it makes an unusually dense dough that is actually rather textured and nice to stretch and fold even when using at 50:50 with white. It has a very nice flavour with a long prove - and so far has never over-proved on me by going liquidy. Aside from its unusual flavour and appearance, I have achieved a good firm and edible crust that doesn't turn into nasty shards
I make fantastic tasty hummus with Carlin Peas . I cook up the whole pack, then freeze in very small batches., equivalent to a canful, and they defrost overnight. I sometimes add butter beans or flageolets and vary the flavour with all sorts,…paprika, sun-dried tomatoes, aubergine etc. Or I can add them frozen to meat or veg stews, stir fries etc. love them!!
Really like this dish, great flavour and some real substance to it!
Fantastic grain for making risotto's and stews creates a really great creamy texture during cooking without the addition of dairy (although the addition of dairy elevates everything!) They don't overcook unlike rice so its almost a foolproof alternative, the end results are a moreish bite to the cooked grain.
