Creamy Red Lentil Dahl

This delicious Dahl is one of my all time go to comfort meals! Adding the coconut cream and maple syrup, just creates that sweet creamy depth.

It is extra versatile in the way you can dish it up; With rice and naan bread the first night; then with any left overs you could either: covered over a baked sweet potato, mix through pasta or make a pie out of it.
