INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup dried red lentils (67g)
1/2 cup light coconut milk (120g)
1/2 cup frozen green peas (80g)
2 tbsp hemp seeds (20g)
1 tsp olive oil (5g)
1/2 cup water (120g)
1 small onion, chopped (70g)
2 cloves garlic, minced (6g)
1 tsp fresh grated ginger (5g)
Spice blend: turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt & pepper
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red lentils and the spice blend (turmeric, cumin, coriander, chili powder, salt, and pepper) and toast lightly for about another minute.
Pour in the water and light coconut milk, bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
Once the lentils are soft, add the frozen green peas and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Stir in the hemp seeds, adjust seasonings if needed, and simmer for another minute.
Serve the dal hot in a bowl, enjoying the creamy texture and rich blend of spices.
