Incredibly Easy & Healthy Vegan Dhal

Incredibly Easy & Healthy Vegan Dhal

This Incredibly Easy & Healthy Vegan Dhal is a great cheap, quick and tasty dish that will warm you up on a cold day. It can be done in a pressure cooker (or InstantPot) so that it cooks faster, but it can be made in a normal pan.

A portion of this brightens up a grey cold day and contains over 3 portions of your recommended 10 a day.

Leafy greens are one of the most nutrient-dense foods. I try to have some every day as they are loaded with so many vitamins and minerals.

Kale works great in this but all leafy greens are amazing for you so feel free to change to spinach, Collard Greens, cabbage.

Incredibly Easy & Healthy Vegan Dhal

This is a great healthy lunch box dish, just make sure to use airtight containers. Also, it’s good frozen where it will last for 3 or so months. For some reason, this dish often tastes better as leftovers heated up. Maybe the spices blend and mature when left for longer to mingle?

Coconut butter is totally optional in this recipe but I like to add a bit at the end as a bit of fat enhances the taste and I like adding raw healthy fats rather than cooking with oil or fats. The coconut butter also adds a delicious coconut fragrance to the dish while not adding many calories per serving.
