This oil-free mixed lentil dal is a quick and fuss-free recipe made of three different kinds of lentils: masoor dal (red split lentils), toor dal (split pigeon peas) and urid dal (split black gram lentils). In this easy vegan and gluten-free recipe, mixed lentils are cooked with tomatoes, lots of onions, chillies and garlic and they are spiced with traditional Indian spices: turmeric, cumin, coriander, chilli, black cardamom, cloves, black peppercorns and cinnamon. This Indian gluten-free is spiced to perfection and it's so delicious it doesn't require any oil. Obviously, feel free to add tadka (spices, onions and garlic tempered in oil) in the end but I can assure you this mixed lentil dal tastes out of this world even oil-free. This oil-free dal is a hearty and healthy simple store cupboard supper. It comes together in only 30 minutes. This cheap weeknight dinner is high in fibre, protein and iron. It's fat-free yet full of flavour. Pair this vegan mixed lentil dal with fluffy basmati rice, wholemeal roti and a selection of pickles for a comforting, super-healthy satisfying meal.
