INGREDIENTS
85 grams Red Lentils (dry)
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/3 cup Chickpeas (cooked)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 medium Onion (diced)
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Grated Ginger
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Ground Turmeric
1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, garlic, and grated ginger for about 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Add the red lentils to the pan and stir to coat with the aromatics.
Pour in the light coconut milk and diced tomatoes, then add the ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and add the cooked chickpeas. Stir well and cover the pan.
Let the dal simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and have absorbed the flavors. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of water.
A few minutes before serving, stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the dal.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary before serving warm.
