    Heat the curry paste in a pan for 1 min. Pour in the coconut cream and stir to combine. Add the lime zest, brown sugar and lentils. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins, adding a squeeze of lime juice and seasoning. Stir through a handful chopped coriander and serve with warmed naan breads. Sprinkle extra coriander on the dhal if you like. Great warm or at room temperature.

This was awful. Not sure what I did wrong but the flavours just didn’t go together at all. None of the family would eat it.

This dhal was perfect for returning home to a house with empty cupboards. I modified it to what was in, so lemon rather than lime and no fresh coriander. Had it with pita, yum.

I just made this in my pressure cooker, and served it hot with gluten free cumin flatbreads (also a BbcgGoodFood recipe). Sooo good, and even my husband who wasn't too excited about the idea of dhal has asked me to make it again lots! It's full of flavour, cheap, quick, healthy, filling and made…

Perhaps I did something wrong but I did not rate this at all. I found the lime and the cream a strange mixture although I love Thai food with coconut milk and lime often found in that so not sure why it was different here. will try another dhal recipe.
