Dhal Recipes

Vegan dinner for 2 - spicy and using the radish leaves for additional boost of nutrients

Yes, I've added hamburger to a classic Indian dish, but it tastes amazing, freezes great, lasts all week and you get hamburger fried in butter for less than 250 calories a serving.

Good fiber, protein & iron content--& delicious too! Can also be made with mung beans or lentils, or a combination. Adjust spiciness to your preference.

I went looking for a fairly mild recipe for an upset tummy day. This looked pretty safe, except maybe for the red pepper flakes and a whole onion, so I decided to give it a try.

This meal freezes excellently so make a double batch for quick dinners throughout the week!

Great with rice, naan bread/pita, If you are watching sodium, salt could probably be elimiated.

A basic lentil dhal to which you can add any vegetables to add variety/texture/nutrition. Great with natural yogurt and steamed rice or pitta bread.

Taken from Vegetarian Nosh for Students

A delicious Indian vegetarian dish. Spicy but not too hot. Eat on its own or serve with rice.

Yum

Come home to a yummy crock pot dinner

Nice, complex flavor. 100 calories for a whole cup! Adapted from a recipe by Shehzad Husain.

Good with curry

A tasty, healthy and filling vegan dish. Fat can be reduced by using cooking spray instead of oil. Salt can be omitted if you prefer, but taste is a little less intense that way. This is spicy, but not hot.
NB All measures are Australian - 1 cup = 250 ML, 1 teaspoon = 5mL, 1 tablespoon - 20 mL.

I got this recipe from a friend who grew up in South India. This recipe hasn't been passed down for generations or anything. Her mom grew up in Delhi and this is from her neighbors/friends.

Lots of fresh spinach. Serve with brown basmati rice. From cookbook "Fresh Indian."

A simple dish that is so very tasty!

Can be served as soup, or with rice, or roti and curry.

Indian dish...Muttar Paneer

This is an easy Indian Dhal recipe. The great thing is, you can add pretty much any vegetables you have on hand. It is also great on its own, over rice or as a soup (simply add some vegetable or chicken stock). You can use red, yellow, green or brown lentils for this recipe.
