Coconut Dhal & Couscous
A comforting bowl of gently spiced lentils served with our Spice Sensation Couscous is just what’s needed on a cold winter’s day! Simple to make with just a few ingredients it’s great for a lunch or a weeknight supper.
Method
Place the lentils, coconut milk, water and turmeric in a pan. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are soft.
Meanwhile prepare the couscous according to the packet instructions.
Heat the oil in a small frying pan and add the cumin seeds. Cook until golden brown then add the sliced chilli and stir until it starts to colour.
Pour this on to the lentils along with the maple syrup, salt and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Serve the dahl alongside the couscous, garnish with chopped coriander and eat with chapatis.
