Part 7/9:
While the dal cooks, brown rice is soaked and boiled separately. Towards the end, coconut milk and a variety of fresh vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and optional greens are stirred into the dal, thickening it and enriching its flavor. Optional garnishes include a drizzle of coconut milk, cilantro, chili slices, and lemon wedges.
The dish costs around €1.73 per serving, or approximately €1.99 with garnishes. It’s ideal for batch cooking, and the leftovers can be stored for multiple meals, offering a nutritious, filling, and affordable option.
