Never saw it made this way but it looks great with coconut milk and tomatoes. Will give it a try.

[steakswirl]

Made this recipe a dozen times now. Delicious. If you're thinking about making it, try it!

I literally just have some lentils, curry powder, coconut milk, chopped tomatoes and cumin (maybe some garlic?) going to try and recreate this as best I can lol, thanks for the easy to follow guide 😊

[pppaaattt]

Going to definitely try. I enjoy lentils and eat almost daily.

I make this a lot now. I use canned lentils or chickpeas and reduce the water added in the recipe (as the lentils or chickpeas are already cooked). It is delicious and very fast to make. I love that it is vegan. ( i have made it without the tomato as didnt have any on hand, but added in some small dice pumpkin, it was still delicious)

Tried this tonight and it was so good! Thank you!

I was skeptical at first - never been a fan of coconut milk - this turned out wonderfully. Instead of salt I used Aromat 🎉 great tasting and economical. Thank you :-)

I am here only for that background music 🎶
Never cooked nor saw my mom or elders cook daal that way in India yet it is surprising to know that some people do add coconut milk to it. I'm really a fan of authentic dishes and don't like fusion. It's like eating samosa filled with sweets. Anyway, best wishes for your channel.
Love and prayers from Europe ♥️
