This delicious heartwarming Vegan Turmeric Dahl is just to die for on those cooler days. As well as being super tasty it's full of iron and fibre and a good source of protein. Especially if you are vegetarian or vegan.
For this recipe, I used DoTerra Turmeric essential oil but if you don't have it ground turmeric powder is totally fine.

Oil Safety
For all my cooking recipes I only recommend using Do-Terra oils as it is tested and approved for internal use. If you don’t have the oil you can always use simple turmeric powder or if you can find it fresh turmeric root.
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
