Comments
This was nice, but I didn't add capsicum and used more coconut milk and not the tin of tomatoes. I added 1 large fresh tomato instead. Added a chilli to the ginger and garlic.
Great recipe and the comments here are helpful.
Next time, as per comments I'd increase the spices:
- 1.5 tsp each of cumin, coriander and garam masala. 2 tsp if your spices are a bit older
- 1 t salt or equiv thermo vegetable stock
This made 6 cups, so ~6 serves. I froze the leftovers in 1 cup portions.
This is so quick, easy and delicious. I always have these ingredients on hand.
I don't add any chilli at all.
thanks for sharing.
I cooked this dal tonight. Followed The recipe exactly as directed. I added some corriander stems that I had in the freezer. It turned out good, but I think it could be improved. Next time I will use stock instead of water and add garam masala, as others have.
Doubled, maybe tripled, the spices. Added some Keens curry powder & turmeric. Served with rice, yoghurt & parsley because I didn't have fresh coriander. Quick & really tasty dinner from what I had on hand, can't ask for better than that 😎
Absolutely delicious. Even my fussy kids loved it and gobbled it all down. So easy and quick too.
thermo-chum: yes, most definitely!
cooked for 10min's then stirred myself with spatula then another 10min's then stirred myself with spatula then last 5min's.
Served with Brown Rice/Quinoa on side 👌🏼
Pretty good!
I added a spoon of dried vege stock, heaped the teaspoons of spices, used bottled ginger and garlic. Put in the whole can of coconut milk but it was too runny. I ended up putting it in a saucepan at the end to reduce the mixture which was heaps better. Next time I might omit the water and see how that goes. I didn't have a capsicum so added more carrot. To serve I put spinach in the bottom of the bowl, a drizzle of tamari and a dollop of natural yoghurt on top. Yum 😋
Does this recipe freeze well? I'm just cooking for one, so freezing would be a selling point! Thanks.
