I should apologise for my over use of Deliciously Ella recipes, but I find myself stopping short of a full apology, Why? Well, because Ella does food so well, and why re-invent the wheel

Serves: 4
Prep: 20 Minutes
Cooking: 120 Minutes

Ingredients:

400g of dry green lentils, 2 cups
x 2 400 ml cans of coconut milk
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
Teaspoon of ground cumin
Teaspoon of curry powder
Teaspoon of cinnamon
Teaspoon of paprika
Teaspoon of chilli powder
Handful of chilli flakes
Salt and pepper to taste

The Method:

Begin by putting all of your dahl ingredients into a pan and give it all a good stir. Bring to a boil before reducing to simmer over a low temperature, then leave uncovered for 2-3 hours until thick – making sure to stir and add more water if it starts to stick to the bottom of the pan.

When your dahl is almost cooked and smells delicious, put your rice on to boil and slice your avocado.
Once your dahl is cooked, stir through a little more salt and a splash of water to your taste.
Serve with a side of rice, a dollop of coconut yogurt, some sliced avocado and a sprinkle of chilli flakes – enjoy!
