Add a little sunshine to your recipe repertoire with our Sunshine Dahl! Comfort in every spoonful, this hearty dish is made with yellow split peas, fragrant curry leaves, and a pop of mustard seed.
A staple across India, dahl is loved by everyone in the family and enjoyed any time of day—making it a great way to get little ones excited about lentils and pulses!

This vibrant, plant-based, protein-rich meal features a truly unique and special ingredient: curry leaf. Sometimes a little tricky to track down, it’s worth the effort for the subtle lift it brings to every bite.
Serve dahl with rice, naan, a refreshing topping like cucumber raita—or even enjoy it on its own! Since the consistency can range from porridge-like to a little more soupy, you can make it just the way your family loves it. Either way, it’s sure to become a new favourite at home.
✨ but that’s not all! ✨
