Easy Red Lentil Dahl | Masoor Dal Recipe (Vegan Curry)

This healthy 1-pot lentil dal is creamy, satisfying and a great vegan comfort meal. The recipe is cooked in one pot and is very easy to make. Double the recipe if you want to eat leftovers on the second day.

1-Pot-Lentil Dal

dry lentils ((*see recipe notes) (190 g))

carrot

tsp fresh ginger (minced)

chili pepper (seeds removed)

soy sauce (or coconut aminos)

vegetable broth ((720 ml))

coconut milk ((*see recipe notes) (240 ml))

tsp coriander

tsp Sunfood's Golden Milk Super Blend ((*see recipe notes))

tsp red pepper flakes ((optional))

Rinse lentils under running water. I prefer to soak the lentils for about 10-15 minutes in lukewarm water because they are better digested this way (this step is optional). Drain the water afterwards.

Meanwhile, chop the onion, garlic, ginger, chili pepper, and carrot (*see recipe notes below). Heat oil in a pot, stir in the onion and fry for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add soy sauce, carrot, garlic, ginger, chili and reduce the heat to low.

Now add all spices (ground cumin, ground turmeric, ground coriander), red pepper flakes (optional), the lentils and 3 cups of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 15 minutes.

Finally, add coconut milk and cook for a further 10 minute or until the desired thickness of the lentil dal is reached. Season with black pepper, salt, and Sunfood's Golden Milk Super Blend (*see recipe notes). Taste and adjust the seasonings as to your preference.

Serve warm with basmati rice, potatoes, or naan bread (flatbread), garnish with fresh herbs.

Serve this tasty, healthy dhal as a vegetarian main meal or side dish. Adding tamarind to the lentils delivers fabulous sweet and sour flavour

Khatti dhal

toor dhal or red split lentils

turmeric

large tomatoes, chopped (better if you remove the

ginger,

green chillies, chopped (deseeded if you don’t

tamarind paste

tsp chilli powder

tbsp oil

cumin seeds

garlic cloves, sliced

chillies (I use Kashmiri), roughly broken

curry leaves, fresh or frozen (optional)

Soak the toor dhal for about 40 mins, then rinse well. Put it in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan with the turmeric, tomatoes, ginger, garlic and chillies. Add 1.7 litres of water and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down low and cook until you have a thick purée, adding water if it gets too dry. Dhal can be quite soupy or quite thick, depending on how you like it. Simply reduce it to thicken it, or add water to thin it. Season to taste.

When the dhal is at a thickness you like, add the tamarind, chilli powder (unless it’s already hot enough), and the ground coriander and check the seasoning.

Tempering is the last phase for a dhal. Heat the oil or ghee in a frying pan and add the cumin seeds. Cook over a medium heat for about 30 secs, then add the garlic and cook for about 10 secs (the garlic should eventually become golden but not brown so don’t overdo it at this point), then add the dried chillies and the curry leaves, if using. Fry until the dried chillies have changed colour slightly and the curry leaves are crisp. Pour this over the dhal and stir. Cover and leave to sit for a few mins before serving.

Make a simple and healthy storecupboard supper like this easy dhal when you're cooking on a budget. To keep it vegan, use vegetable oil rather than ghee

Tarka dhal

red lentils

tbsp ghee, or vegetable oil

onion,

garlic cloves, finely chopped

½ tsp garam masala

tomato,

Rinse the lentils several times until the water runs clear, then tip into a saucepan with 1 litre water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25 mins, skimming the froth from the top. Cover with a lid and cook for a further 40 mins, stirring occasionally, until it’s a thick, soupy consistency.

While the lentils are cooking, heat the ghee or oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the onion and garlic until the onion is softened, so around 8 mins. Add the turmeric and garam masala, then cook for a further minute. Set aside.

Tip the lentils into bowls and spoon half the onion mixture on top. Top with the coriander and tomato to serve.
