Vegan Sweet Potato Dahl



To me, dahl is the ultimate comfort food and it's so easy to make.

So today I'm sharing my sweet potato dahl recipe, the sweet potatoes add a lovely sweetness to this classic dish.

Here's what you'll need:

  • 1 clove of garlic crushed
  • a little drizzle of oil
  • 50 grams of green lentils
  • half a medium sweet potato
  • half a tsp of ground cumin
  • half a tsp of ground turmeric
  • half a tbsp of tomato puree
  • a little sprinkle of salt and pepper
  • some water

These small amounts are enough for one portion or one adult and a little one. This is usually enough for my youngest daughter and I. 

To make enough for two people double the ingredients, for three people triple and for four quadruple and so on, you get the idea. 

Just add a dash of oil to a pan and gently fry the garlic for a couple of minutes.

Next add the lentils and sweet potato and cover slightly with water.

Add the cumin, turmeric, tomato puree and bring to the boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook on a low heat for approximately 40 minutes.

You may need to add a little more water to prevent the mixture drying out. So keep an eye on it.

Once the sweet potatoes and lentils are soft, add salt and pepper, seasoning to taste.

Serve with some flat breads or chapatis or whatever takes your fancy. Rice goes so well with this dish. 

And all thats left to do is enjoy!



Have a fantastic day and stay kind :)
