Comment on this storyComment Add to your saved stories Save Here’s a coincidence for you — or is it? The last time I wrote about cookbook author Nik Sharma, it was when I loved a recipe from his previous book, “The Flavor Equation,” for dal makhani, India’s luxuriously silky black lentil stew.

For one thing, it benefits from steeping in its own juices; cooking it several hours ahead of serving, even a day before, is ideal. The flavors intensify, mature, strengthen.

Christmas is a great time of year, isn’t it? As a child in New Zealand, I found it so exciting to sit at a big table that was beautifully laid with candles, tangerines and walnuts.
