INGREDIENTS
120 grams Red Lentils
1 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup Water
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water to remove any debris.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water over medium heat and sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders, and toast for about 30 seconds to release their aromas.
Add the rinsed red lentils, diced tomatoes, light coconut milk, and the cup of water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the dal has thickened slightly.
In the final 5 minutes of cooking, fold in the fresh spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the lentils are fully cooked and the flavors have melded together, remove from heat. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve warm.
