Instructions

- Fry off all the spices and the onion and tomato in the butter and add to the lentils.
- Continue cooking on high until everything reduces and looks like soup...this took an additional 30mins in my 1.5L slow cooker (which cooks hot so yours may need longer)

Nice. I added a tablespoon of honey and salt and pepper to taste at the end
I doubled the recipe and added 1 cup red and one cup brown lentils. I used a tin of crushed tomatoes and fried in a few curry leaves.
If you’re not big on spicy, halve the chilli amount.
Tastes fantastic!
I made 2 batches of this- one with chilli and another without. I added paprika to the hot one so we could differentiate.
Changed water to vegie stock and added crumbled up cauliflower in the last 15mins to add a bit more texture.
Surprisingly very tastey, even hubby enjoyed it.
Delicious. Nothing to add. Will make it again.
Can I use a tin of brown lentils instead?
this was nice and so easy to make ?
First time at trying Dahl in the slow cooker. It will. certainly be a regular from now on. The only thing I did differently was to add extra curry. Delicious, thank you Pauline.
Loved this recipe! I didn’t have cumin seeds but put some dried cumin in instead – very tasty & absolutely will make again
Fabulous feedback – Thanks Wendy!
