Red Lentil Dhal

This is a go-to dish when you're having a vegetarian day, and it’s sure to become one of your family favourites. The addition of coconut milk makes it deliciously creamy, but you could replace this with a tin of chopped tomatoes for a lower-calorie version, if you prefer.

250ml of cold water
1 x 400ml tin of reduced-fat coconut milk
Handful of cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 onion, sliced
2.5cm of fresh ginger, grated
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp of ground turmeric
1 tsp of chilli flakes
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp of curry powder
1 tsp of garam masala

Method
Step 1

Place all the ingredients in the slow cooker, stir and season to taste. Cook on low for 5-6 hours, then stir and garnish with fresh coriander and chopped spring onions.

Cooking tip: Dhal goes really well with vegetables and rice, but it has plenty of sauce for dipping naan as well. You could even top the bowls with some grilled chicken.
