Our bespoke Sri Lankan Coconut Dal Meal Box is designed for ease of cooking, containing one bag of basmati rice and one bag of dal, two unique spice sachets (containing whole spices and ground spice), plus a simple recipe so you can make enough to serve 4 people, or as 8 side dishes. A small shopping list of 2 medium onions, 1 tin chopped tomatoes, 1 tin coconut milk, plus 1 stock cube and your meal is complete in 30 minutes.
 
Vibrant, comforting, and deeply flavourful, this plant-based dish was inspired by the island's rich culinary traditions that we sampled during our visits there. 
 
The warm, nourishing creamy red split lentils are simmered with coconut milk, garlic, onion, and tempered mustard seeds, curry leaves, and fragrant spices like turmeric and cumin. This rich, golden dal is traditionally paired with basmati rice, and accompanied by sides like spicy sambol (a chili-coconut relish), roasted eggplant, or a tangy lime pickle. The dish is mildly spiced but layered with aromatic, tropical flavour and coconut — both comforting and vibrant, perfect for a healthy, satisfying lunch or dinner. 
 
Ideal as a new dinner meal, cosy night in, dinner party, or a thoughtful gift idea.
 
As with all our packaging, everything is recyclable and/or compostable.
 
Allergens: contains mustard seeds and sumac.
