Coconut milk - Aroy-D
Creamy Coconut Dal - recipe below - this is my fav comfort food. It’s a very quick and easy dinner, that’s also a vegan recipe. I love my dal really rich and thick, and then I serve it with rice or just as is. If you have any leftovers, they get better and better. Enjoy x JGS

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and crackle for a few seconds before adding the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until golden.
2. Chuck the garlic and ginger into the pan and mix well. Cook, stirring continuously, for 30 seconds until fragrant.
