Cauliflower, Kale and Red Pepper Dhal with Lime Yoghurt

Lentils are packed full of B vitamins, magnesium and zinc, all needed to support serotonin, the feel-good hormone.

This cauliflower, kale and red pepper dhal is taken from my book ‘Eat Right, Lose Weight’ which helps you discover your metabolic type.
