INGREDIENTS
100g Red Lentils
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/3 cup Cooked Chickpeas
1/4 medium Yellow Onion, diced
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1/2 cup Diced Tomato
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
1/2 tsp Salt

PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and salt, stirring to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
Mix in the red lentils and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender.
Once the lentils are nearly cooked, add the diced tomato, light coconut milk, and cooked chickpeas. Stir well to combine.
Allow the dal to simmer for another 5 minutes so that the flavors meld together.
Just before serving, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot as a comforting meal that fits perfectly into your balanced eating plan.
