Red Lentil and Coconut Dahl Recipe by Mindy Perley-Martin

Red Lentil and Coconut Dahl

This red lentil and coconut dahl is such a hearty, creamy dish with all the flavours of India.  Dahl was a staple during my time travelling throughout this colourful, chaotic country.  The Indian spices add lots of flavour and the lentils are a great source of plant-based protein and cholesterol-lowering soluble fibre.  Add more chilli flakes if you like things a little spicier, or you can skip them if that’s not your thing.
