Coconut Basil Rice
About:
And the rice!! with coconut and basil, totally cozy and totally delicious. I loved it! It’s incredibly simple to make.
And it can be served as is for lunch or breakfast or for packed lunch or serve it with chutney/any dip of choice.
I love basil, It’s the best smell, and in my opinion one of the best herbs. So instead of rice with loads of cilantro, which I do love too, I added some basil to this, mostly for a nice summery kick. Pretty sure you are going to love it.

Pumpkin/Squash Dal/lentils curry
About:
Lentils are super hearty, so a bowlful of this lentil stew /dal is plenty on its own. Alternatively, you could serve a slightly smaller portion alongside some rice, a big chunk of bread, or my favourite winter comfort food – creamy squash
Health Benefits:
There’s a lot of flavor and a lot of nutrition in a simple pot of lentil stew. Lentils are low in fat and high in protein and fiber. But they have the added advantage; unlike other legumes they cook very quickly!
