Easy and delicious vegan eating right here! A simple bowl of Dal Makhani, loaded with Coriander! Spicy and tomatoey, it really is a delight for the taste buds and its nutritious too. The recipe is easy and adaptable – add more spice if you like things on the hot side or tone it down if need be. Add extra veg or more garlic or less. I personally like a little extra tomato flavour so I always make sure its a heaped 1/3 cup of tomato paste, so feel free to make it your own version of Dal Makhani.
