Print RecipeVegan Daal Makhani - Creamy Lentils with Kidney Beans
This daal makhani is rich, creamy and loaded with high protein and tons of flavor. It’s vegan + gluten free and can be made with so many variations of daal. I used masoor daal here with some kidney beans for a rich nutty texture. It is super healthy and quick to make than other recipes! Dinner is ready in under 30 minutes with this daal and some rice or naan. We make this every Sunday during meal-prep and it lasts us all week. So delicious and did I say healthy!
