Coconut dal with kidney beans
This is one of my favourite curries - it’s deceptively substantial for a vegetarian dish, and delicious hot or cold. I often make it by throwing all of the ingredients into the slow cooker at the start of the day, so I come home to a delicious creamy dinner. Serve with basmati rice. Each serving provides 555 kcal, 14g protein, 34g carbohydrates (of which 9g sugars), 37.5g fat (of which 25g saturates), 13.5g fibre and 2.1g salt.
