- Step 2When they begin to smell fragrant, add the lentils and split peas and add the 6 cups water
- Step 3Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, cardamom pods, bay leaf, salt and black pepper- stir well to combine all ingredients
- Step 4Place lid on slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10 hours. Remove lid after cooking time and stir
- Step 5Taste and if lentils are not soft, cook for another 30-60 minutes, if needed. Add more salt and pepper, if needed
- Step 6To serve - Ladle the dahl over brown rice and top with a squeeze of fresh lemon and some chopped coriander. A really tasty and healthy meal! This can be reheated for lunch on another day. You can freeze this too for another time.
