A creamy Red Lentil Dahl recipe that is comforting, hearty, flavorful, and delicious. This Indian dish is vegan, gluten-free, healthy, and easy to make. Masoor Dal curry can be cooked in 30 minutes and is therefore perfect as a weeknight dinner and meal prep.
Comforting Dahl Recipe
Comfort food is my absolute favorite and I can never say no to curry! Therefore, I created a new recipe for red lentil dahl (also known as Masoor dal curry). The recipe is creamy and rich because of the canned coconut milk, however, you can use any other plant-based milk for a low-fat/low-calorie version.
I love this dal because it is:
- A quick and easy vegan weeknight dinner
- Creamy, flavorful, and comforting
- Easy to make with simple wholesome ingredients
What Is Dal?
Dal (also spelled dhal, daal, dahl) is a term used for dried, split pulses. Dal also refers to Indian lentil soups which are important staple foods in South Asian countries, especially India. Masoor dal is actually a tiny red/orange lentil that cooks fast and doesn’t require any soaking.

This red lentil dahl recipe contains only simple ingredients which are as follows:
- Dry red lentils
- Carrot
- Bell pepper
- Onion
- Garlic cloves
- Fresh ginger
- Vegetable broth or water
- Canned coconut milk

How To Make Red Lentil Dahl?
This dal is super easy to make and doesn’t require a lot of effort. Check the video to see all the instruction steps.
- Rinse lentils under running water.
- Chop the onion, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and carrot.
- Heat oil in a pot and sauté onion for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add ginger, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper.
- Add all spices, sweetener, lentils, and 3 cups of vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Finally, add coconut milk and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the desired thickness of the dahl is reached.
- Season with black pepper and salt. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve warm with basmati rice, potatoes, or flatbread and garnish with fresh herbs.
Add Veggies Of Choice
If you aren’t a fan of carrots, you can also use sweet potato or pumpkin. Other veggies that you could add to this curry are spinach, zucchini, eggplant, or tomatoes.
Which Milk Is Best For Lentil Dal?
I prefer using canned coconut milk, however, you could also use soy cream, oat cream, or cashew cream to make the dal creamy, and flavorful.
How To Serve?
My favorite way to serve this dahl recipe is with basmati rice or with naan. However, it also tastes great with roasted potatoes and even quinoa.
How To Store And Freeze?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for between 3-4 days.
Reheat in a pan (or in the microwave) with a splash of plant-based milk or water until warmed through.
You can also freeze it in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Health Benefits Of Curry
I found a great site that describes the health benefits of curry:
Turmeric is the spice that gives curry powder its yellow color and praised around the world for its medicinal qualities. The curcumin found in turmeric has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Curcumin also protects against heart disease and may prevent certain cancers.
Another primary ingredient of curry powder is ground-up coriander or cilantro seeds. Coriander seeds have blood sugar lowering effects and may help those with diabetes manage their blood sugar levels better. Coriander also acts as a digestive aid and is proven to aid those with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) lower the severity and frequency of their symptoms. It’s also shown to promote bone health and reduce cholesterol levels.
The other key component that makes up a large percentage of any curry powder recipe is cumin. Cumin, like coriander, promotes digestion and may help with diabetes. Cumin is also a rich source of plant-based iron.

Hi, Thank you so much for this recipe. It’s HA-MAZING!
Hi Johanna, I am so glad you like it. 🙂
Making this again tonight! Love when my 8 year old comes in the kitchen just to say how good dinner smells. This one is a favorite on our rotation. A hit with the whole family, including the carnivore. 😊
Aww, that’s amazing, Allison. I am so glad your family loves this dish. Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
Hi Ela
I Made this dahl recipe tonight for my husband and I and it was absolutely delicious!!
I’ve been trying to find some good vegan recipes to try and I can’t wait to try some of your other ones.
Thankyou for sharing them.
Hi Lisa, I am so glad you liked it. 🙂
If I may give a piece of information about the truer spelling of this splended Indian grain? ‘DHAL’ is the closest to the original, the ‘h’ following the ‘d’ indicating, as it does, the slight huff of breath that follows the ‘d’ as spoken by a native speaker. This is what makes ‘dahl’ so very, wrong. However as we don’t pronounce ‘d’ in that manner, and as the ‘a’ is long, I think writing the word as ‘DAAL’ is a good second – although it doesn’t have the magic, don’t you think?
Regards
Jilli
you can search the video on youtube! thank you for recipe!
I like trying new foods. I saw this recipe had great reviews so I decided to try it. When I first tasted it, I was like hey this is pretty good. But each time I eat it, it’s even better than the last time!! This is sooo good!
That’s awesome, Stephanie! I am so glad you loved it. 🙂
Thanks so much for this recipe! Because my family is picky, I put everything besides the lentils and coconut in the blender and the. Cool the lentils in the veggie slush. I also never have fresh ginger but the powdered kind still works well. I’ve made it 3 or 4 times now and find myself craving it 😋
*cook the lentils in the veggie slush
I am so glad you like it. 🙂
I LOVE this recipe!! It’s delicious and easy. This is my new favorite vegetarian dish. Thank you for sharing it.
Hi Lisa, I am so glad you love it. 🙂
Hello! I’m wondering if I use this recipe in a slow cooker? I’m trying to find easy recipient to leave cooking and be ready when I get home in the evening. If so, would you add the coconut milk at the beginning or at the end?
Hi Bianca, I never tried it. I think I would add it at the beginning.
We made this last night, I had been meaning to make it for weeks. It was soo good and my husband really enjoyed it! We are excited to try it again with some potatoes! It tastes so light, usually when I have curry it feels really heavy because of the oils, but this was so good and did not dissapoint!
That’s awesome, Alex! So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I’m very excited to make this curry today, but I’m new to cooking with fresh herbs and so I’m wondering what herbs you suggest garnishing with at the end as the recipe instructs? Thank you! 🙂
Hi Mary, I like adding parsley. 🙂
I finally got around to making this tonight. It was so good. I used almond milk And since I was using agave for my sweetener are used half the amount. because I think it’s really sweet. I will definitely be using this recipe often
That’s awesome, Melissa. I am glad you liked it. 🙂
This was so yummy! I didn’t have carrots so i used beetroot and it went really well. It was exactly the comfort i needed after a very strange day. Thank you!
That’s awesome! So glad you liked it. 🙂
This beautiful dish is absoluely AMAZING!! So tasty, easy and packed with veggie goodness. I added coarsely chopped spinach. Most definitely is a new go to dish! Thank you so much!
So glad it turned out amazing! Thanks for your feedback, Deb. 🙂
Made this recipe today and I am in love! Simple to make, warm and earthy. Perfect with naan. I hadn’t realized I was almost out of curry powder so I added a pinch of garam masala. Worked perfectly. Thank you!
Hi Bianca! I am so glad you liked the recipe! Thanks for your great feedback. 🙂
Loved this! I made it with your gluten free naan recipe and it was delicious. Thanks so much!
That’s awesome, Marianne! I am so glad you loved both recipes. 🙂
Delicious and Simple recipe! Boyfriend begged me to add this to monthly lineup up dinners.
That’s awesome! 🙂 Thanks for your feedback!
I’ve never made any type of curry before. My wife found this recipe and it was very easy and delicious. I could see this becoming one of our staples. I thought it was getting too thick before adding the coconut milk, but checked the video and saw it was just the same. It worked perfectly. I did learn also that I need to shake the coconut milk before opening. I made a bit of a mess. Amazing recipe.
Sounds great, Kent! So glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
This was delicious! It was quick and very easy to make. Thank you!
Hi Sheila, I am glad you liked it. 🙂
I’m just getting my ingredients out to make this, but wonder what’s the best onion to use?
Hi, I used red onion, but white is fine too. 🙂
This looks delicious, Ela!
I would just like to kindly point out that “dahl” is actually a Germanic word for ‘valley’. I believe the word you were looking to use here was ‘dal’, which actually refers to dried split pulses or lentils…so the title of this dish actually reads “Red Lentil Lentil”.
Hello! Is it possible to use green lentils instead?
Hello Emily! You can, but the cooking time will increase.
Hi! Can I use cooked lentils instead?
Hi Jess, yes, you can. But then you will need to skip the vegetable broth.
Wow! This was super yummy and so simple to make. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are very welcome, Robin. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Hi Ela! I want to make this for dinner soon but only have canned lentils, would it still work or will I need to reduce the amount of liquid used?
Hi Hayley, you would definitely need to reduce the liquid by at least 2 1/2 cups.
yummmmm such an easy meal to prep for the week’s lunches! will absolutely make again
Happy you liked it, Lauren. 🙂
Fantastic! Chopped up a fresh Jalapeno and threw in at the end.
Happy you liked it! 🙂
Finally got around to making this dish. It’s so good! I will make again using brown lentils. Will it require more broth/water?
Yes, it definitely will require more water/broth and more time. I have a different Dal that I made with brown lentil. You can find it here:1-Pot Lentil Dal.
I made this for lunch, substituting red lentils for dry Moong Dal (soaked for 30 min), it turned out great, my kids ( 2 teenage boys) and I loved it. Definitely a REPEAT recipe!
Happy it turned out delicious! Thanks for your feedback, Liliana. 🙂
Would it be OK to substitute split yellow moong dal for red lentils?
Hi Donna, I think that should be fine! 🙂
I am anxious to try this! Do you know if it freezes well?
Yes, it does! Enjoy. 🙂
there is a mention of video but I am unable to locate it!
It’s in the post, under the heading “COMFORTING RED LENTIL DAHL”. It will take a moment to load if you have a slow internet connection. If you keep scrolling down it will also appear as a small pop up! 🙂
Agreed, can’t find video…
Czarina, it will only show if you are NOT using an ad blocker. 🙂
Amazing for dinner! I just went vegan a couple of weeks ago and this is definitely my favourite dish so far! I love how all spices mix to make this a very flavorful experience! And it was so easy and quick to make! Thank you, Ela, for this recipe!
That’s amazing, Yana! I am so glad you liked the recipe. 🙂
A really delicious recipe. The amount of spice the Ela recommends in the recipe gives the dish a gentle hum which you can adjust to your taste and the combination of spices that she recommends is perfect. One of my friends is Sri Lankan and her mum lives across the road from me and my husband and she occasionally cooks for us and I can honestly say that this recipe is on par with her mum’s food. I’m very happy that I made plenty of this to eat and freeze for later.
That’s awesome, Emma! I am so glad you enjoyed it. Such a nice compliment, thank you! 🙂
as a Type-1 diabetic i can recommend this recipe (lentils + sweet potato = low GI so slow increase in blood glucose) and it is really really easy and super tasty – thank you ! pls send the recipe to your any of your friends that are diabetic.- its exactly what we should be cooking + enjoying 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing! I appreciate your comment. 🙂
Hi Ela, I tried this recipe but I only had brown lentils, they took slightly more than 10 mins. The dish was great but it just didn’t look the same as yours. Did I do the right thing by substitute red lentils with brown lentils?
Hi Motho! Cooked red lentils look completely different from cooked brown lentils, therefore, it’s normal that the dish looked different. Try it with red lentils next time and it will look similar to mine. 🙂
Oh. My. Goodness. I just made this and the only thing I altered was 1/2 tsp less cumin because it’s not my fav. Other than that no changes and it is absolutely delicious! I had with some sweet potato on the side and I am so, so happy. Thank you for this recipe!
You are very welcome, Sam! I am so glad you loved the meal. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Hi Ella,
Looking forward to making this dish, what sweetener is best for the recipe.
Thanks
Janette
Hi Janette, any sweetener is fine, e.g. maple syrup. 🙂
Just made this. Substituted unsweetened soy milk and a small potato for a pepper as I didn’t have one on hand. I also skipped a sweetener- seriously doesn’t need it. I added a bit more spice than the exact recipe and also added some tomato. Wow – this is a very good recipe!!!
So happy you liked it, Constance! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
I just made this Dahl and as it was cooking with the lentils in it I thought oh no it is too thick so I added some more water and now I have learned that I should follow the recipe exactly because the flavours are delicious but it’s not as thick as I would like because I added water on my own. I made it with Jasmine rice and cilantro on top and it was very delicious!
I glad you enjoyed the recipe. 🙂
This was so delicious. I love lentils and Indian cuisine. It was very quick and easy to make. I did not add the sweetener, as I was unsure what I needed to use. In the end I didn’t need it. I find full fat coconut milk sweet enough. I will definitely be making this again!
Sounds awesome! I am glad you enjoyed the meal. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
I have made this sooooo many times!
Can’t stop won’t stop haha
This is my soul food without a doubt.
That’s awesome, Jessie! I am happy you love it. 🙂
Brilliant curry, quick, easy, and delicious. Scales well. Forgiving too if you happen to add or subtract an ingredient. Served over rice with raita plus a mint tomato and onion salad, and it was fantastic. Definitely a new favourite!! Thanks for posting.
Sounds amazing! I am glad you loved it. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
I have just made the Red Lentil Dahl. It’s so delicious. Thank you for the recipe
You are very welcome, Gina. 🙂
Can I use green lentils if that’s all I have on hand?
Hi Danelle, yes, you can but please note that the cooking time will increase. I would recommend soaking the lentils in lukewarm water first for at least 15-20 minutes because then they will cook faster. 🙂
Another hit in this household! I had exactly 1.5 cups of red lentils from when the bulk bins were still open so we know they were at least 3 months old! Still delicious. Used reg coconut milk instead of canned and served with day old homemade sourdough and nutritional yeast. Perfect!
Sounds fantastic! Happy it turned out delicious. 🙂
This was such a good recipe to recreate!!
I had to add a few twists to the recipe based on what I had in my pantry.
I used sweet peppers, added three small potatoes, and had to use Thai red curry paste instead (I know it technically makes it a Thai curry because of this) but I have made real dahl in the past and the sautéing of the vegetables added a great depth of flavor! I will definitely make this again! I ended up with about 9 servings for 486 calories but it was so worth it! And so filling!
Served over rice, with a squeeze of lime!! UGH perfection! Freezing half for next week 🙂
Hey, Vanessa! I am so glad it turned out delicious! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
This was amazing!! My first ever curry dish, Little spicier than I was expecting, will decrease the crushed red pepper next time. I will also be halfing the recipe since it’s just myself eating it. Curious, does this freeze well?
Hi Barbara, I am glad you liked it! Yes, it freezes well. 🙂
YUMMMMM!!!! I added more vegy broth so irks was more soup-like. Really good . Thanks!
Happy you loved it! 🙂
I think I made this recipe a gazillion times and every time it tastes & smells SO DAMN GOOD!! Practical hint – I keep my ginger in the freezer and grate it frozen, it’s super easy – feels like grating parmiggiano. voilà! thanks Ela for all the inspirations – keep up the good work!
That’s awesome, Ronay! I am so glad you love this recipe! 🙂
Hi!!! I’m about to go downstairs to whip this up & I have lots of spinach I need to use How much spinach would you add and when? Can’t wait for dinner!!!! Thanks!!!
I would add 1-2 handful of spinach (or more to taste). Add it after you poured in the coconut milk for the last 2-3 minutes. 🙂
If I only have ground ginger can i use in place of fresh? Thankyou
Yes, that’s ok, Ashley, but it won’t be as flavorful. 🙂
Thank you, so comforting and tasty, had with brown rice and purple broccoli, definitely going to try more of your recipes!
You are very welcome, Kanetta! I am so glad you loved the recipe. 🙂
This recipe is just delicious! So easy and quick to make. I used water and added a little sugar for sweetener and about a Tsp of salt. Love it and will be making this regularly!
Fantastic! I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Diane. 🙂
Firstly, delish! But second – if I actually thought I could get this on the table in 30 minutes, it would have taken a small miracle. Who can chop carrots, pepper, onion, garlic etc in 10 minutes. Is it just poor kitchen skills or technique on my part? I feel like I was oversold on the whole “30 minutes” thing…
Poor kitchen skills – Move along buddy
I made a batch of this today and it is utterly delicious! It was so easy, it’s definitely going to be a staple and it’s so versatile, I can pair it with anything. Thank you!
That’s awesome, Philippa! I am glad you enjoyed the Dahl. 🙂
Mine wasn’t as pretty as yours but it might have been because I used the brown lentils. It was still delicious!
I am glad it was delicious, Sylvia. 🙂
I just cooked it for the first time and it was delicious. Will definitely cook it again. Would be nice for entertaining friends on a winter night. Easy and thank you for this lovely recipe!
That’s awesome! I am glad you enjoyed the dish. 🙂
I just tried the recipe! It’s amazing! Everyone loved it. Thank you!!!!:)
Yay, I am so glad everyone loved it! Thanks for your feedback, Ingrid. 🙂
Having just arrived back from Sri Lanka I really had to give this recipe a try back in the UK . The staple breakfast , lunch and dinner all include this amazing dish . I have to say this recipe is an exact replica of the dish being produced to Sri Lankans and so if its good enough for them it,ll do me too . Its beautiful and extremely versatile too and will compliment just about anything you’ll care to add alongside it . If like me you are one of millions that are affected by variants of IBS then try this alongside rice for a week instead of potatoes and bread , No more bloating and squirming on your chair after eating !
Wow, thanks so much for your wonderful feedback, Nick! I really appreciate it a lot. 🙂
I just made this and it is delicious! I didn’t add any sweetener but it was so good. Thanks for the great recipe.
That’s awesome, Gina! I am glad it turned out yummy. 🙂
I made this for dinner tonight and paired with cauliflower rice. It was wonderful, the ginger came through the palate beautifully. It was such a qarm cozy meal on a cool fall day. I will totally save this recipe for the future
Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Looks very good if I add potatoes how would I add potatoes? Do I need to cook potatoes first since they need more time than carrots?
It depends on how small you chop the potatoes. If you chop them smaller than the carrots, you don’t need to cook them first. 🙂
Hi! This looks amazing – can it be frozen? I have sent a message to your insta for some freezer meal suggestions if you don’t mind letting me know what you think! Looking to cook in bulk and freeze for some easy weeknight meals!
Hi Lindsay! Yes, you can freeze the dahl. I sometimes include a note in my recipes if they can be frozen. Here are some examples:

Just made this to go with a chickpea curry stew I always make. I made my own cashew creams with raw cashews soaked in water for a few hours then blended. I subbed zucchini for the bell pepper (because it’s what I had) and used agave nectar for the sweetener.. Oh, and I left out the oil, because I always do! My usual red lentil dal isn’t this creamy and it’s a great treat, and always good to switch things up once in a while.
This was my first recipe I tried from your site and I look forward to trying other things.
Wonderful! I am so glad you loved the recipe, Nathan and I hope you will try out more recipes soon. Thanks for your great feedback! 🙂
Just made for dinner and absolutely loved it. Thank you for this and so many other delish recipes.
You are very welcome, Rosmery! I am so glad you loved the recipe! 🙂
This was so yummy!!! Will definitely be making this again. 🙂 I didn’t have pepper so I used cauliflower. served with Basmati rice.
Sounds wonderful, Dawn! I am so glad you liked the recipe! 🙂

Aww that’s so sweet of you to say, Emma!! I am glad you love my recipes. Thanks for your great feedback! 🙂
can’t wait to try this. I can’t eat red peppers could i just leave them out or sub for something else?
Hello! You can leave them out or use zucchini instead. 🙂
This dish is super easy and flavorful! I’ve cooked it several times and I’m still enjoying it.
That makes me so happy! I am glad you like the recipe, Adriana. 🙂
I’m literally eating it, as I type. It is SOOO good. It’s my first attempt at making curry, and I couldn’t be happier I bought a big bag of red lentils, and a year’s supply of curry powder. It’s. Sooooo. Good.
Wow, sounds amazing! Thanks so much for your great feedback, Elizabeth. 🙂
Love the flavor !! I didn’t any sweetener it’s perfect without .
So glad you liked it, Jane! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
I made this and it was so yummy!! Finally I feel truly proud of how a recipe turned out hehe I prepped it for the week with some brown rice and cannot wait to eat it! It was my first time cooking lentils and they took a little longer than I expected but it was no biggie! Thank you so much for sharing!
That’s awesome! I am glad you loved the recipe. 🙂
Made tonight, it is delicious! Smelled so amazing while cooking too. We just sampled it so far, but will serve later with rice and naan. Thank you!
That’s amazing, Kate! I am so glad you liked the recipe. 🙂
Hi Ela,
As you know I make a lot of your amazing recipes! I made this for dinner tonight and it is so tasty!! Perfect for the fall weather and I served it with a side of Cauliflower rice pilaf.
That’s good to hear! Thanks for your great feedback, William. 🙂
Can you use any color lentils?
You can use brown lentils, for example, but they will need to cook longer. 🙂
Just made this tonight. I used sweet potato and egg plant in mine. Looks so yummy. I can’t wait to have It for supper tomorrow. I saved some in individual containers for the freezer too, not sure if it freezes well.
Sounds delicious with sweet potato. I never tried freezing the dish.
Another great recipe! It is so simple, quick and delicious. Thanks for sharing it 🙂
Thanks for your feedback, Gretchen! I am glad you liked the Dal. 🙂
Tried this out and loved it! So hearty & nourishing.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for your great feedback, Aishah. 🙂
Red lentil Dahl is one of my favourite Indian dishes and this one has such great ingredients in it!
Thanks so much, Jess. 🙂
Would this work using instant pot? It seems like it would, just wondering if you have any experience/ recs for pressure cooking time? Looks delicious! Thank you.
It should work, Julie! However, I have no experience regarding cooking time, unfortunately.
Thank you for sharing, I tried it today and it is delicious!!
Great! I am glad you liked this recipe, Appi. 🙂
Just made for dinner! So delicious and so easy! Thank you for sharing.
