- Add in the water and coconut milk.

- Simmer for 15 minutes or until lentils and vegetables are cooked.
- Serve over rice and enjoy!
If I'm bringing this on a hike we dehydrate the dhal, so in this case, make sure you chop up the sweet potato and kale finely. (Side note - you can substitute the sweet potato for carrots, I've tried that and it's just as delicious.)
Dehydrate the Dhal until crispy and portion into a reusable zip-lock bag. Once it's time to eat at camp, simply boil up enough water and cook the rice and Dahl in your cozy (I recommend cooking the rice and Dhal separately). ENJOY!
Also, I really recommend the the 'Earthly Grains' Instant Rice from ALDI.
ITISTHEBEST and comes out PERFECTLY EVERY TIME!
