Red Lentil Dahl

Hello my friends!!

Today I will give you a very easy recipe, delicious and healthy too: my red lentil dahl!

Looking for something different? Looking for an enjoyable dish with no guilt? This recipe is definitely the one you’re looking for!

But first a “let’s learn something” time with our friend Wikipedia … 😉

Dal (also spelled daal, dail, dhal, dahl) is a term used in the Indian subcontinent for dried, split pulses (legumes) (that is, lentils, peas, and beans). The term is also used for various soups prepared from these pulses. These pulses are among the most important staple foods in South Asian countries, and form an important part of the cuisines of the Indian subcontinent.

The word dal derives from the Sanskrit verbal root dal- “to split”.

You can eat this red lentil dahl as a side dish of a grilled meat or fish for instance, with rice for a vegan meal, or with naan bread… A delight…

And cherries on the cake: it’s a cheap meal, easy to cook, and super quick!! What more could you possibly want?

Okay, no more useless talking…
