Recipes for curry and dhal are at the top of our list when it comes to favourite comfort foods. One of the best things about them is that it's so easy to switch them up and add the veggies and herbs you have in the fridge. For a great, multi-purpose dhal base, we recommend vegetables that will hold up well in the liquid-y base, like sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, broccoli, or leeks. Same goes with staples and seasonings, like coral lentils, quinoa, coconut milk, and nuts. Pick a few favourites from the above-mentioned ingredients and make your own delicious custom dhal. Serve alongside some brown rice or naan bread for a warm, hearty, and comforting meal.
