Hard no on the fruit but the pappadums definitely help. Had a more flavourful side of zucchini dry curry that lifted things up.
I really wanted to get an instant pot but there's no space in this tiny unit - I barely have space for a microwave; I have to keep putting my rice cooker away and I've never even used my toaster since moving here.
When I move to my next long term place I'll definitely be getting one given how many pulses I eat.
But yeah. Cashew cream for the win. It's really easy to make too, just hot water, cashews, 15 mins soaking time and a blender.
Nothing still beats my favourite masoor dal though :) the easiest and tastiest, my comfort food
If the rice cooker dies, replace it with an instant pot. IP does great rice.
I should really read some dal recipies and make something specific rather than the flavoured pulces that I'm living off.
