With everything happening in the World I thought it was a good time to blog my favourite super budget friendly, pantry staple Thermomix recipe – Red Lentil Dahl.
Dahl is a hearty, super healthy vegetarian dish that is packed full of protein but easy on the budget.
You can serve this Red Lentil Dahl as a main with steamed rice or Garlic, Cheese & Spinach Naan.
It also makes a delicious side dish to serve with your favourite Butter Chicken or Curry.
There is no need to soak the split red lentils overnight & you can adjust the chilli to taste.
A massive thank you to Tennielle Barron for the amazing photo of the Dahl.
