Red lentils (dhal) & Coconut Curry Garnished with cilantro and a splash of lime and served with a piece of warm naan.
This is super simple and crazy delicious. Plus it’s vegan. A couple points of reference: http://berrychik.com/sri-lankan-parippu-masoor-dal-recipe/ https://www.196flavors.com/sri-lanka-parippu-curry/ There are some things that I don’t have readily on hand like curry leaves or saffron powder. I order things a bit differently too - toast whole spices in oil, add & sautee aromatics (onion, chile, garlic), bloom ground spices, add rinsed uncooked lentils & stock/water, heat to boil & simmer until lentils cooked, adding more stock/water as necessary & stirring to keep from sticking & burning in the bottom of the pot. Stir in the coconut milk near the end.
