This dal is a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but I really enjoyed this dal. The spices were perfectly balanced and the coconut and cilantro added a nice touch.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover lentils. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the dal, such as carrots, celery, or potatoes.

The dal was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

This dal was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili powder next time.
