This dahl is super easy to throw into the slow cooker in the morning, walk out the door and come back to a gorgeous aroma and dinner all cooked. Add as many extra veggies as you wish, and with any leftovers, freeze into portions and have for lunches during the week. This dahl is one of my absolute favourite recipes to make in the slow cooker.

Instructions
- To make the dahl, save ¼ c of coconut milk/cream aside to garnish. Place the remaining coconut milk in a slow cooker with yellow split peas, lentils, quinoa, stock, onion, garlic, ginger, curry leaf stems, kumara and spices. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours or until peas are tender and mixture thickens. Discard curry leaf stems and stir through the fresh coriander. Season with salt and extra pepper if desired.
- Divide evenly amongst serving bowls, drizzle with the reserved coconut milk/cream and sprinkle with the toasted coconut flakes, fresh coriander and serve with the lime quarters on the side.
