Vegan Dhal

Rich and flavourful... and in our opinion tastes way better than shop bought dhal..
Ingredients:
2 tbsp Rice bran oil
2 Onions
3-4 Cloves Garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
4-5 Tbsp Tomato paste (more or less depending on how tart you like it)
2 tsp Milk curry powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
5 cups water
1 can coconut cream
2 cups dried red lentils
3-4 tbsp vegan chicken seasoning (more or less depending on how salty you prefer it)
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp coconut sugar
Method:
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and panfry until golden and caramelised.
-
Add garlic and ginger and cook for another minute.
-
Add tomato paste, curry powder, coriander and cumin and cook for another 2 minutes stirring constantly.
-
Add water, coconut cream and lentils and stir well.
-
Bring to a boil and reduce heat to bring it to a simmer and cook partially covered for another 30-40mins or until lentils are soft. If you find the dahl is getting to dry/thick, you may need to add a little more water in the process.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
-
Delicious served with brown rice or basmati rice.
