recipe release: sunshine dahl!

  • August 28, 2025

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! 

sunshine dahl with cucumber raita, carrots, brown rice
Sunshine Dahl served with cucumber raita, basmati rice and steamed carrots.

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! ✨

We’ve got an absolutely dahl-ightful book to pair with this meal. Bilal Cooks Daal, written by Aisha Saeed and illustrated by Anoosha Syed, follows a young boy eager to share his dad’s delicious recipe with his friends. After trying out RFRK’s version, your little one just might be inspired to cook alongside Bilal, too!
