Coconut dahl

An alternative way to make my favourite dish is by adding coconut milk. I don’t make this as often purely because coconut milk is a bit more expensive but it still makes a regular appearance in our kitchen!

Step 1

Blend the onion and garlic together in food processor or blender (this step is not essential and can be omitted if you do not own one).

Step 2

Add the onion and garlic mixture with a splash of oil into a large pan on medium heat and cook until transparent. Add water if needed.

Step 3

Add all of the spices and cook for a couple of minutes, again, adding more water if needed.

Step 4

Add in the coconut milk, red lentils, stock and lime juice and stir together.

Step 5

Bring to the boil and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Cook for longer if you have the time as this will bring the flavours out even more.

Step 6

Serve with rice, your choice of steamed vegetables, a sprinkling of coriander and a squeeze of lime.
