Indian food is one of my favorite cuisines. It is very vegetarian and vegan friendly so when I used to order food often before I could cook it was my go to. Dahl was always my favorite thing to order because I love lentils! This roasted red pepper dahl is my take on a traditional dahl. It is in no means authentic but it is delicious. The red pepper adds the most rich flavor to this dahl, and it makes the meal feel summery. I highly recommend using whole versus ground spices because they really bump up the flavor. However, if you can not find whole spices ground is okay. In addition, this is a nutritionally well rounded meal - lentils add protein and coconut milk adds healthy fat. This lentil dahl is incredibly easy to make. You basically just throw everything in a pot and wait 40 or so minutes. It is a perfect weeknight meal and makes plenty of leftovers to have throughout the week! If you make this recipe, let me know what you think in the comments.
