Weekend Lunch/Dinner: My first lentil dhal dipped with gluten-free garlic naan 🌱😋❤️

Hello everyone, hope you have a wonderful weekend so far! 🤗

Today I made my first Lentils Dhal dish with garlic naan. 😋👍

Recipe for Lentils Dhal:

1. Soak variety of red, green and black lentils overnight and drain.

2. In medium heat pot, sauté: olive oil, grated gingers, onions, garlics, cumin powder, chili powder, coriander powder, tomato purée, coconut cream, vegetable broth and a bit of salt to taste.

3. Cook lentils until soft and add handful of spinach as the last step.

Garnish with chopped cashews and cashew yogurt and enjoy. 😋👍

Recipe for gluten-free garlic naan:

1. I use 100g of gf flour to make 2 naan.

2. Add: 1/2 tsp of xathan gum, baking powder, psyllium husk powder and mix well.

3. Add 110 g cashew yogurt and kneed into a ball and divide into 2 portions.

4. Use a roller to flat them out, add fresh basil leaves and minced garlic mixed with coconut butter and a bit of garlic salt.

5. Heat in a regular pan until crispy and brown.

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Thank you Kainan, the kitchen smells amazing right now. 😁Yes the garlic naan are so soft with yogurt and crispy outside. It reminds me of garlic flatbread.

Hope you have a great lunch now! 😋👍

Today I enjoyed beans and vegetarian sausages on toast for my lunch and dinner was an autumn fish pie I made myself.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Your toast with bean and vegetarian sausages sounds very delicious. 😋👍

I haven’t had vegetarian sausage for few months now, I prob will find some gluten-free vegan one to enjoy again. 😁

That’s wonderful you enjoyed making homemade autumn fish pie, you got your weekend meals all set. 😊👍

Looks lovely. I live in India so dal is staple for me. I eat it almost everyday. The soaking of the dal is very important. Not less then four hours. Better overnight.

[Hidden in reply to Laxmik]

Hi Laxmik,Thank you very much and that is very healthy meal to have almost everyday! 😊🙏

You are absolutely right it’s crucial to soak them overnight, very similar to many beans when I cook also.

Hope you have wonderful meals and enjoy your Sunday in beautiful India! 🤗
