Recently i have been craving hearty, warming food and what came to mind....COCONUT!
I have never made a Dahl until my Mum said 'why not make a Dahl'...so i did *thanks Mum* haha
I combined all of my favourites, Coconut with Red Lentil and Spinach! Its a real Protein Kick! Just what I've been needing. This is such a quick recipe and i would highly recommend it for anyone who loves a bit of Creamy Coconut, Soft Lentils with Indian spices! Its super yummy!
Ingredients-
-1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil
-1 Medium sized White Onion (Chopped)
-2 Garlic Cloves or 1 Large Garlic Clove (Minced)
-1/2 a Tablespoon of Fresh Ginger (Minced)
-2 Teaspoons of Curry Powder (I used Mild)
-1 Teaspoon of Turmeric
-1/2 a Teaspoon of Mild Chilli Powder
-1/2 a Teaspoon of Black Pepper
-1/2 a Teaspoon of Chilli Flakes
-280grams of Red Lentil (Dried)
-300ml of Coconut Milk from a Can
-600ml of Filtered Water
-A good Handful of Roughly Chopped Spinach
-Pinch of Rock Salt
-Fresh Coriander leaves for Dressing
-Golden Linseed or Chia Seeds for Dressing (and to add extra Protein & Crunch)
Lets get cooking....
Step 1- In a Large Wok, Put the Coconut oil on the Heat.
Step 2- When the Oil has turned to Liquid and is Hot, add the Chopped Onions, Minced Garlic and Ginger. Leave on the heat, stirring Occasionally for 3-5 minutes.
After 10 minutes, turn the Heat down and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the Lentils are nice & Soft. Keep Stirring the Mix to stop it sticking. Add extra Water if needed.
Step 4- Scatter the Spinach all over the Mixture and mix in until equally distributed. Cook for a further few minutes.

This meal is very filling, but i did have seconds ( thats how good it is) :P
If your wanting a whole meal, i would suggest serving up with some Wholegrain or White Boiled Rice! Goes down a treat with the Family. Even throw in a Vegan Naan bread or Pitta. yum yum
I would have sprinkled Chia seeds all over the top, but i unfortunately have ran out and need to purchase some more! But i did have some Golden Linseed sitting on my Shelf so i substituted! It was very tasty! Very good cooking *Pats self on the Back* :P
