Coconut Lentil Dhal

Coconuts have recently been recognised and popularised as an extremely healthy food source of fibre, vitamins B, C and E. In this recipe, I have combined the good fat of coconut milk with the complex carbohydrate, lentils. Lentils are relatively low in calories while being a mixture of protein and carbohydrates.
