INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dried red lentils (approx. 100g)
1/3 cup light coconut milk (approx. 80ml)
2 roasted garlic cloves
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 medium onion
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup cooked chickpeas
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, sauté the chopped onion in a splash of water or a light drizzle of oil (optional) until translucent.
Add the roasted garlic (mashed slightly), diced tomatoes, and red lentils to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the light coconut milk and add your favorite spices such as turmeric, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Allow the dal to simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender and have broken down, stirring occasionally.
In the final 5 minutes of cooking, add the fresh spinach and cooked chickpeas, stirring until the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, then serve hot.
