This curried chickpea and lentil dal is a vibrant, soul-warming vegan dish that elevates simple pantry staples into a sophisticated meal. The creamy texture of the coconut milk and softened red lentils provides a comforting base for the earthy chickpeas, while the addition of fresh ginger and garlic offers a deep, aromatic foundation. It is a wonderful choice for a healthy midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend gathering when you want something nourishing that does not compromise on bold, spicy flavours.
What sets this homemade dal apart is the dual-layered garnish. A bright, zingy coriander and raisin chutney provides a burst of sweetness and acidity, while the golden-hued mustard seed oil adds a satisfying crunch and nutty finish. Highly versatile and naturally gluten-free, this recipe is perfect for batch cooking as the flavours continue to develop over several days. Serve it alongside warm naan or fluffy basmati rice for a complete, plant-based feast.

How to make Curried Chickpea and Lentil Dal
Volver al contenidoCook oil and mustard seeds in a small saucepan over medium-low, swirling often, until mustard seeds start to pop. Remove from heat and stir in turmeric and cayenne. Season with salt; let cool.
Mix shallot, raisins, coriander stems, lime juice, and oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook onions and garlic, cut side down, and ginger, stirring onions and ginger occasionally, until onions are translucent and garlic is golden brown, 5–7 minutes. Add curry powder and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chickpeas and 1200ml water, stirring to release any bits stuck on bottom of pot; season with several pinches of salt. Bring to a simmer; cover with a lid, leaving slightly askew so steam can escape. Cook, adjusting heat to maintain a very gentle simmer and skimming foam from surface as needed, until chickpeas have swelled about 50 percent in size but are still crunchy, 25–30 minutes.
Add coconut milk and lentils to pot; season with more salt. Return to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until chickpeas are tender and lentils have broken down to form a thick broth, 30–35 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Ladle dal into bowls and serve with toasted Mustard Seed and Turmeric Oil, Coriander-Raisin Chutney, coconut, chillies, and/or coriander as desired.
Oil can be made 1 day ahead. Store tightly covered at room temperature. Chutney can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Dal can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
