10. Some years ago I was working in Iran and had cause to stop in a small town to eat lunch, if memory serves me correctly called Gonbad.

When it arrived I found a bowl with cooked lentils (dhal) some unidentified meat, possibly lamb, in a brownish sauce, accompanied by a large nan bread (no knives and forks!).

Lamb Tandoori. Dansak (Dhansak).
