Breadcrumbs [Vegetarian](/life/food/recipes/vegetarian) / 23 March 2020 # Tomato Dahl With Flatbreads A good vegan option for a quick lunch, the lentils in this dahl are a great source of magnesium, fibre and complex carbohydrates, all of which boost the metabolism. This is also very much a 'chuck it in the pan' job, so little fuss for a delicious meal all round. Serve with the flatbreads, straight up or with rice.

In a large bowl combine the flour and salt together. Add the oil and 5 tbsp of water and bring together into a dough. Gradually add a further 2 tbsp of water to form a smooth and soft dough. It should not be sticky. Knead for 2 minutes just to make sure everything is well combined. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes to rest. Step 2 Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Dust your work surface with flour and roll each ball out into a thin round measuring about 22cm. Dust with flour as you go to ensure the dough doesn’t stick. Step 3 Place a large non-stick frying pan over a low-medium heat, add a flatbread and cook for about 1 minute on each side until just cooked through. Remove to a plate and immediately cover with a clean tea towel. Repeat to cook the remaining breads. Step 4 Now make the dahl. Put the lentils into a pan with the garlic, soy sauce, curry powder, miso paste, chopped tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to stop the lentils sticking to the base of the pan. Step 5 Add the yoghurt and simmer for another 5 minutes until you have a creamy dahl. Season to taste. Step 6 When the dahl is cooked, warm the flatbreads in a toaster or oven and serve with the lentils, topped with extra yoghurt, chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. *Recipe courtesy of [Happy Vegan](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Imperfect-Vegan-Fearne-Cotton/dp/1841882895) by Fearne Cotton, published by Seven Dials.* [ Sign in to comment with your SheerLuxe profile ](/user/login?destination=)Or continue to comment as a Guest below [View the discussion thread.](http://sheerluxe-dev.disqus.com/) *more from* Life [View All Life](/life) ![Your October Horoscope](https://media.sheerluxe.com/IGTSJiKeRURR_xP1iSiStsHhF_Q=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F10%2Fsl-site-assets-021026-horoscopes-hero-thumb.jpg) [Life](/life) / 02 October 2026 [## Your October Horoscope ](/life/your-october-horoscope-6) ![How To Use AI To Get Ahead ](https://media.sheerluxe.com/n2XUNDZBJ4saxCmnazqQXyZ8Eh4=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-site-assets-ai-chloe-watts-1.jpg) [The Business Edition](/the-business-edition)/ 30 September 2026 [## How To Use AI To Get Ahead ](/life/how-to-use-ai-to-get-ahead) ![50 ChatGPT Prompts That Could Streamline Your Week](https://media.sheerluxe.com/I0DoNCFCo6Som2sHgXlLEdgtafI=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-site-assets-300926-chat-gpt-promots-hero-thumb.gif) [The Business Edition](/the-business-edition)/ 30 September 2026 [## 50 ChatGPT Prompts That Could Streamline Your Week ](/life/50-chatgpt-prompts-that-could-streamline-your-week) ![What’s Really Going On In AI Right Now](https://media.sheerluxe.com/iXb2mf0_gzrS7Lr4aF6_XGaKXTc=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-site-assets-ai-experts.jpg) [The Business Edition](/the-business-edition)/ 30 September 2026 [## What’s Really Going On In AI Right Now ](/life/whats-really-going-on-in-ai-right-now) ![What’s New & Noteworthy In The AI World ](https://media.sheerluxe.com/MHHHVsF5WrMN0_qCO_sVbd1YBtE=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-hot-list-hero-thumb.jpg) [The Business Edition](/the-business-edition)/ 30 September 2026 [## What’s New & Noteworthy In The AI World ](/life/whats-new-noteworthy-in-the-ai-world) ![The AI Tools Women-In-The-Know Rely On ](https://media.sheerluxe.com/MCeqh6U9ojSSfDb2fm6qSmDZ_4c=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-site-assets-300926-x-ai-tools-stylish-women-use-more-to-come-as-people-send-answers-hero-thumb.jpg) [The Business Edition](/the-business-edition)/ 30 September 2026 [## The AI Tools Women-In-The-Know Rely On ](/life/the-ai-tools-women-in-the-know-rely-on) ![The Gold Edition Meets… Beverley Knight](https://media.sheerluxe.com/E_NvkBJNNJ0devPjRgFO-Ix7IrA=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F09%2Fsl-gold-210926-site-assets-in-conversation-with-beverley-knight-hero-thumb.jpg) [Life](/gold/life)/ 21 September 2026 [## The Gold Edition Meets… Beverley Knight ](/life/the-gold-edition-meets-beverley-knight) ![Your September Horoscope](https://media.sheerluxe.com/MnrlRdDvx-vNBuFLfCJDJQ7jEQQ=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F05%2Fhorocopes-hero-thumb_0.jpg) [Life](/life) / 01 September 2026 [## Your September Horoscope ](/life/your-september-horoscope-5) ![Sarah Hiscox On Addiction, Self-Esteem & Learning To Silence Her Inner Critic](https://media.sheerluxe.com/aw4oujJSHPV-UVrsQIlaI2gsROk=/200x267/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F08%2Fgold-site-assets-0826-thumb-hero-sarah-hiscox-on-self-esteem.jpg) [Life](/gold/life)/ 17 August 2026 [## Sarah Hiscox On Addiction, Self-Esteem & Learning To Silence Her Inner Critic ](/life/sarah-hiscox-on-addiction-self-esteem-learning-to-silence-her-inner-critic) Share This Story [Facebook ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?display=popup&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com&u=https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Flife%2Ffood%2Frecipes%2Fvegetarian%2Ftomato-dahl-with-flatbreads&t=Tomato+Dahl+With+Flatbreads) [ Pinterest ](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Flife%2Ffood%2Frecipes%2Fvegetarian%2Ftomato-dahl-with-flatbreads&description=Tomato+Dahl+With+Flatbreads&media=) [ E-mail ]() DISCLAIMER: We endeavour to always credit the correct original source of every image we use.
