Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

In a large bowl rinse the Red Lentils (1 1/3 cups) until the water runs clear.

step 2

Then, cover the lentil with filtered water, add the Kombu (4 pieces) and let the lentils soak for 2-3 hours (or even overnight). The Kombu seaweed helps to soften beans, making them more digestible and less gassy.

step 3

Drain the beans from the soaking water, transfer them to a large pot, cover with water, and add Salt (1 Tbsp). Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 30 minutes.

step 4

Drain the beans again from the cooking water and set them aside.

step 5

In a large pot heat up Coconut Oil (2 Tbsp), once melted add the Curry Powder (4 tsp), Fennel Seeds (2 tsp), Ground Black Pepper (to taste), and Ground Ginger (as needed). Toast the spices for a few minutes.

step 6

Add the Onion (1), Carrot (1), and Celery (2). Cook on low for 5 minutes.

step 7

Add the lentils back to the pot, and add Water (1 1/2 cups) and the Bay Leaves (4). Bring to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes. The lentils will start to break making the soup quite creamy.

step 8

Stir in the Full-Fat Coconut Milk (1/2 can), and cook for 5 more minutes. Adjust with salt if needed.

step 9

Your Indian Dahl is ready! Serve it with some steamed rice if you fancy.
