Basic Dal

This stew of legumes and rice is about as simple as it gets, but it’s incredibly comforting. It’s easy on stomachs that are recovering from a hard day of exercise, and you can even eat it for breakfast! Feel free to add chutneys or Quick Pickled Onions for even more flavor.

For most oil-free variations we typically “sauté” in broth, but here we want to draw out more of the flavor of the spices so we use coconut milk instead.
