The coconut milk in this coconut & ginger dhal brings a bit of luxury to a simple vegetarian staple. Toasting the coconut and ginger makes the topping more fragrant, but also crisps it up to make a delicious crunchy topping.
I love Dhal! I have it every few weeks at least, so very grateful for this simple variation for no extra trouble. The toasted coconut and ginger really add to it. Really thickens it up too compared to the usual Dhal, which I am a fan of. Will be making again!

Thanks to the Spicery I am becoming a fan of Dhal. Given I like both coconut and ginger, this one seemed an obvious choice. I was delighted by the results. I followed the "raise your game by..." suggestion and used coconut oil to toast the ginger and desiccated coconut. It sizzles and brings a hit of fragrance, flavour and drama to the table.
