INGREDIENTS
100g Red Lentils
1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (No Salt Added)
1/4 cup Diced Onion
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tsp Olive Oil
50g Firm Tofu, cubed
Spices (Turmeric, Cumin, Coriander, Red Chili Powder)
Fresh Cilantro for garnish
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until softened, then add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute.
Stir in the spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder) and toast them lightly for about 30 seconds.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and lite coconut milk to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the dal has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Gently fold in the cubed tofu during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through without breaking it down.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the spices if needed.
Garnish with fresh cilantro just before serving. Enjoy your hearty, creamy dal on its own or with a side of steamed greens.
