Packed with protein-rich lentils and infused with aromatic spices, this dish is full of nutrition and tastes so good. The subtle sweetness of coconut blends beautifully with the spices, creating a comforting and satisfying meal that’s ideal for any time of the day.

Method
Step 1
Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker with 1 litre of water or vegetable stock. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
Step 2
Once the lentils are cooked and the dal has thickened, season with salt and pepper and serve. I personally like to serve this slow cooker dish with rice, but you could serve with rotis or flatbreads if preferred.
Ingredients
