So tasty! The whole family loved it and we have some fussy ones. It will definitely be a regular for us now.

We are eating this as I write. Very tasty, but, as another reader found, the split lentils took longer, and I had to add more water. I served it with basmati rice, mango chutney, lemon wedges, a blob of coconut yoghurt, and fresh coriander.
I think I will try adding split peas next time, and serve with poppadoms, just for variety. Looking forward to the leftovers!

In reply to Christine Hanner. You could just use another variety of plant milk, just make sure it's unsweetened and doesn't have any vanilla flavouring or anything in it. Cashew milk would be good as it's nice and creamy and the nutty flavour would work well in this.

Hi Mel,
This recipe looks amazing and I want to make it; however, I am not a fan of coconut milk. I know it's a big part of the recipe, but could I substitute it for something else? If so, what would you recommend?

Thank you

Absolutely delicious! My husband who told me he didn't like lentils couldn't get enough. Definitely hits the spot. I substituted some of the ingredients with their powder version (ie. used cumin powder vs. cumin seeds) and it came out perfect. It was an easy google search to get the measurements. This recipe won't disappoint!

Delicious!! My lentils took quite a bit longer to cook for some reason , but worth the wait!

Best dahl I have made. I love Indian food, and now I can make this at home. Even my husband loves it, and he can be picky.

I just made it and loved it. I did add some garam masala as one of my favorite spice mixes. Also added garbanzo beans. Will definitely make it again.
