This lentil and sweet potato dal is both creamy and spicy, packed full of flavour and goodness. Since saying goodbye to red meat, my husband and I have gone nuts for lentils and making dal! The different spices in this dish triggers an explosion of flavour and it is exceptional comfort food. It is beautifully matched with cauliflower rice.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. coconut oil
- 1 large red onion, (diced)
- 2 large cloves of garlic (diced)

- 1 cup split red lentils
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (cut into cubes)
