One of my first choices when it comes to eating out is always to enjoy some healthy Indian food – and in my mind this meal cannot start without a healthy dhal, an earthy, gluten free lentil soup that I am in love with.
As I always say to my friends, I am truly convinced that Italian and Indian are some of the best cuisines in the world. But for all those who are trying to stay away from gluten, the latter is an even better option.
In fact, besides Samosa, Naan and a few other items, gluten free Indian food doesn’t require many modifications from the original recipes. Basmati rice is the primary grain that accompanies the mains… and the lentil flatbread Papadum can be found gluten free as well!
If you are looking to recreate a good replica of a restaurant’s healthy Indian recipe, this delicious gluten free dhal is for you!
It’s so simple to make and yet it has a whole rainbow of flavors, coming form the mixture of amazing spices, the starchy taste of stewed lentils and the creamy coconut milk.
I don’t want to tease you any longer. Here is your healthy dhal recipe! —Ambra Torelli
