As soon as my family mentions wanting a curry, I know exactly what I'll be having - dal. There are lots of types of dal, made with various pulses, but I love using red lentils - they're quick to cook. and you don't need to soak them!

Easy Vegetable Dhal Recipe

I've tweaked and changed this restaurant-style dahl recipe over the years and I've finally settled on this combination as my absolute favourite.

I always make a big batch and keep a stash of this vegan lentil curry in the freezer for super-quick midweek meals that the whole family loves.

I love to serve this red lentil curry with rice or my super easy naan bread recipe (just 4 ingredients and 15 minutes for homemade naan bread, plus it's yeast-free and easily vegan or gluten free).

It makes a great Indian feast along with naan bread (my easy naan takes just minutes and is soooo good!) turmeric rice, chapattis, roti or poppadoms, vegetable samosas, onion bhajis, or vegetable pakoras.

Dhal is a very popular staple dish served widely across India. As with most traditional meals, the exact methods and ingredients vary from region to region and household to household.

Have tomatoes in it, but adding them means the acidity from the tomatoes cuts through the coconut milk so it has more depth of flavour rather than sweetness.

Red Lentil Dahl With Kumara

Do I use dried red lentils? Yes. No need to pre-cook them (just give them a rinse), they'll cook in the curry.

If you don't have all the spices, just add 3 teaspoon of Garam Masala (an easy-to-find dried Indian spice blend that's in most grocery stores).

How to serve this Indian dhal? Serve it as a lentil curry with rice and/or naan bread, or as a side dish alongside another curry or Bombay aloo.

Creamy Red Lentil Coconut Dahl

Can I freeze dahl? Yes! Let it cool and freeze in portions in airtight containers or bags for up to 3 months. I love keeping a stash of portions in my freezer for quick curry nights.

I always keep a big jar of red lentils in my pantry. They're budget-friendly and add a protein hit to many dishes. Plus, you don't need to pre-cook or soak them! If you love this dahl, be sure to also try using up red lentils in these recipes too!

I hope you'll love this red lentil dahl as much as we do, and make it part of your family meal plan! Be sure to check out some of my other vegan and vegetarian curry recipes too.

This dahl is really easy to make. If you can spare a bit more time, then I'd suggest you slowly cook the onions for about 10 minutes until soft but not too brown. Then also simmer the dahl a little longer.

But if you don't have time then the dahl also great with the method below! (I usually make it the quicker way!)

1: Cook the onions in the oil until soft, then add the garlic and chilli (fresh finely diced chilli or dried chilli flakes).
