This vegan lentil dhal is a speciality of my son in law Mark’s which he cooks for us regularly.
It’s a really warming dish and very nutritious, which works well on its own or with quinoa/brown rice or even fish/chicken etc.
Put the lentils ,diced chilli and turmeric into a large pan. Add the water then bring to the boil, and then simmer until the lentils begin to break down.
Add the coconut milk and continue to simmer.
Meanwhile gently fry the garlic and onion in a separate pan until cooked
Add the remaining spices. Cook for a minute, then add the tomatoes and cook for a further 5 mins.
Add the tomato mixture to the cooked lentils and stir. Season to taste.
Ready to serve. Add chopped coriander for extra flavour.
This works very well with any cooked fish.
