Wow what a bomb dish! One thing that really gets my attention is fennel tops. I have never cooked with fennel and always use the seeds in curries but I think I may be able to find fennel somewhere in this city. I now am very interested in trying it in a dal.
Lentils are a must to keep in stock. I think as a survival food it makes the most sense.

Lentils are the best - now I've written this I'm going to replemish my under the bed stocks tomorrow!!!!!
Fennel tops are good - like celery really. People usually throw away the tops but I use the feathery bits in salad and the stalks in stews, so you can get back for your buck too. Fennel is great caramelised with a bit of lemon juice too - love the stuff.
