INGREDIENTS
120g red lentils
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 small yellow onion
1 garlic clove
1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 cup water
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and drain.
Dice the small onion, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium saucepan, heat a light spray of oil (or use a few drops of water for a fat-free option) over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, and ground cumin. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Add the rinsed red lentils, diced tomatoes, light coconut milk, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the dal is slightly thickened.
Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
Serve the dal hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro. Enjoy as a warming meal any time of day.
