THE TRAVELLING VEGAN: Mia's Delicious Vegan Dahl Recipe

Ingredients

• Start by making the Dahl Paste: mix together all the ‘Dahl paste ingredients’ in a small bowl, or use a mortar and pestle, to combine. Keep mixing until they are well combined together.
• Once the mixture is smooth, place it into a cooking pot on medium heat for a few moments, until slightly browned.
• Add the chopped/crushed garlic and the onion to the pan along with a dash of water. Gently allow the onions to soften.
• When onions are soft, add the soaked lentils and all liquids (1 ½ cups of water, ½ can coconut milk). Stir together and bring the mixture to the boil.
• Once boiling, stir in your desired vegetables.
• Turn down the heat and cover the pan with a lid. Let it simmer for 15-18 minutes, ensuring that you are stirring occasionally, adding water to desired consistency if needed.
• Once the mixture reaches a nice creamy consistency, it is done!
