By the way, “Dahl” can also be spelt “dal”, “daal”, or “dhal”. In addition, dahl is an alternative name for lentils, including curried lentils. So please read this veg dahl recipe with that in mind.
Before you go to the detail, here’s the short version of the best lentil recipe Australia, (and I originally was taught it in Bali).
Veg dahl recipe?
Soak lentils overnight. Then cook. Steam pumpkin & blend to puree. Fry onions, & add half the lentils. Then, add spices like mustard seeds, cumin & garam masala. Add rest of lentils, puree, & coconut milk. Cook for another 15 minutes until it thickens, & serve.

Ideally, eat it with a nutritious, gluten free, flat bread like the one shown below, that I made with chickpea flour. (I’ll cover that recipe another time).

At most the places I’ve eaten, I been disappointed with dhal, or their version of veg dahl recipe. In particular, I often find that’s it’s so hot, that I can’t appreciate the many other flavours of vegetable dahl.
So I was delighted to eat this version as one of the many dishes at the Flametree Bali retreat.
