Bursting with flavor and packed with nutrients, this vibrant red lentil dhal with spinach is a comforting, easy-to-make vegetarian delight.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 120 g red lentils

  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
