    Submitted by SaharaCarrott on 23. July 2021 - 17:07.

    This is my 'go to' recipe to make for friends and family if they are having a rough time for whatever reason. So simple, quick and TASTY!! every person I've made it for has said it is one of the best dahls they've had. So easy to whip up at short notice with pantry staples. How I do it...

    1. omit the chilli flakes (kids 🙄)
    2. Add a dash of fresh or jar ginger.
    3. I read previous comments and always do the liquid with a big can of coconut milk then up to 750g with water.

    So creamy and hearty on a cold winters night.

    Submitted by Misskt77 on 22. April 2019 - 10:46.

    This is divine! My first ever attempt making Dahl after my naturopath encouraged more lentils and chickpeas in my diet. Followed all the tips and did the half half coconut milk/water and tinned tomatoes as I was out of tomatoes. Such an easy pantry staple cook up. Tried it for brekkie as I made it straight after veggie stock cook up. So warming and flavoursome. Thankyou

    Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing. I logged in to finally leave a comment. I cook this dahl twice a week! Freezes great too. A firm favourite in our house. I leave out the chilli and tomato. We used to get a lovely takeaway dahl when we lived in the city, and never been able to recreate it - until now! Thank you so much tmrc_emoticons.-)

  • Hi...

    Submitted by PatinaM on 18. May 2017 - 21:13.

    Hi

    This is a great recipe. I made some slight variations, which people may find adds to the already great flavour.

    What I use:

    Main:
    Lentils
    some baby tomatoes (equivalent to a big tomato - so about 8-9)
    About 25ml of tomato paste

    Spices:
    Two small green chillis
    3 cloves of garlic
    1 tbsp of curry powder
    1 tbsp of garam masala
    1 tbsp of cumin
    1 tbsp of turmeric
    Some fresh coriander (handful)
    Some fresh ginger (thumb size)

    I find the fresh coriander and the fresh ginger really brings the dhal alive and rounds the flavours of the curry, cumin, turmeric and masala.

    Thank you. Wish I had tried to make this sooner. It was very easy and tasty. I added half a zuchinni and a celery stick into the first step with extra chili. Added two tomotoes and next time I might add some eggplant as well. Also did a combo of water and coconut milk. So good. Thanks.

    Thank you for such an easy recipe. It is a nice change from meat and three veg which my hubby is so accustomed to. I added spinach at the end, and made garlic and spinach naan bread to go with it. Devine Cooking 9

  • I make this recipe at least

    Submitted by Dani75 on 29. June 2016 - 15:00.

    I make this recipe at least once a week sometimes more. Quick, easy, nutritious and cheap work lunches. Hubby loves it too which is high compliments as he can be quite fussy, especialku when it comes to meat free dishes. Thanks for sharing! It's my go to recipe. Sometimes I will add celery, carrot zucchini and blitz it with the onion and garlic in the early steps.

    So easy, quick and yummy!!

    I omit the cumin and add (a lot) of salt  :O and it tastes just like my Indian nana's!

    I also hard boil a few eggs (if I've got them) then halve and stir through the finished dahl.

    The dahl freezes fantastically too so I have a stash of (low salt  tmrc_emoticons.;) ) portions in the freezer for an easy go to meal for my kids!

    Thank you very much for a quick, healthy and tasty recipe!
