Here's something that made me think a bit today whilst reading the instructions on chana dal.
Place uncooked chana dal into a bowl with 4 cups of water and allow to soak for 30 minutes. Rinse well, drain and set aside.
What difference does it make how much water I put in if I'm gonna rinse and drain anyway. I was a rebel and I put more in and smiled.
It would make more sense if they said "atleast 4 cups".
Some people need specific instructions.
Do not eat the dishwasher ball
Why make them look like Jaffas?
So many things I've pondered today.
You make a good point.
