One of my first choices when it comes to eating out is always to enjoy some healthy Indian food – and in my mind this meal cannot start without a healthy dhal, an earthy, gluten free lentil soup that I am in love with. If you are looking to recreate a good replica of a restaurant’s healthy Indian recipe, this delicious gluten free dhal is for you! It’s so simple to make and yet it has a whole rainbow of flavors, coming form the mixture of amazing spices, the starchy taste of stewed lentils and the creamy coconut milk. I don’t want to tease you any longer. Here is your healthy dhal recipe!
