India produces some of the best vegetarian recipes in the world. From onion bhajis and vegetable samosas to saag paneer and vegetable korma. When you have such intense flavours, meat often seems a bit redundant. One of the most popular staples of Indian cuisine is dhal (often spelt dal or dahl). What goes into a lentil dhal recipe? While often served as a side dish in a restaurant, our lentil dhal recipe is a comforting meal in itself. With a rich buttery taste, the lentils are cooked down until super tender then spiked with sweet spices and a touch of chilli. Despite its diverse flavours, our favourite lentil dhal recipe is made entirely from easily sourced supermarket ingredients and is ideal for meat-free Monday or eat-on-the-couch Sunday (yes, it’s a thing). Need to bulk-up your dahl? Try our red lentil dhal with sweet potato for a robust meal.
