The other day, I whipped up this super quick dahl and it’s a fabulous recipe to create with pantry staples. I’m talking lentils, coconut milk and tinned tomatoes. Oh and curry leaves and mustard seeds.
I’ve actually been grabbing a few of the curry leaves packs when they are marked down to 50c and popping them in my freezer. A super simple kitchen hack for fresh herbs – freeze them!
A hearty, warming meal on the table in minutes – just what we have needed during witching hour (when it’s cold and wet outside) and I’m surrounded by washing on indoor clothes lines.
Seriously – who wears all these socks?
Recipe: Super quick dahl

Heat some oil in a large frying pan or pot. Microplane in the ginger and garlic with the mustard seeds and curry leaves. Cook until fragrant.
