This one is so easy! <3 I made it with a little extra liquid with delicious and comfort-filled results. Perfect for this chilly night. Ever grateful to you, Kate!

This is an absolutely amazing meal..
My Wife and i love all the flavours, but we did not have enough of the butternut squash, so threw in some sweet potato and some frozen spinach and voilà and even more stupendous Dahl.
Also going to check out the flat breads recipe to go with it as well

Easy and delicious. Thank for the recipe.

Tracey ★ 5.0/5

This recipe is simple and delicious. I am now going to try with the tomatoes Instead of the coconut milk and very excited to taste it.

Pagan ★ 5.0/5

Absolutely delicious, I used 1/2 butternut & 1/2 Kumara, (sweet potato) then served sprinkled with crispy onion instead of chilli. Yummy, thank you.

Will ★ 5.0/5

I eat this one regularly, it’s particularly good as you can vary the spices etc and use the same technique to produce different results. I wish I could eat more chilli as I can tell it would be amazing if made extra hot.

Estelia ★ 5.0/5

Delicious! Now I’ve discovered this recipe, I know I’m going to make this over and over again. I used butternut squash and sweet potato as well as the lentils.

Mary ★ 5.0/5

Very easy to make. It's the first dahl I made in a slow cooker - no going back to the hob now :) Lovely and creamy. I used the individual spices and the flavour was amazing.
