Creamy Coconut Red Lentil Dal with Turmeric
Savor a comforting bowl of creamy, golden dal that's gently spiced with turmeric, cumin, and fresh ginger. Velvety red lentils blend beautifully with light coconut milk and a dollop of cooling Greek yogurt, while aromatic sautéed onions, garlic, and tomatoes infuse the dish with irresistible warmth and flavor.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Red Lentils (approx 100g)
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk (approx 120g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (approx 61g)
1/4 cup chopped Onion (approx 40g)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, minced
1/2 cup chopped Tomato (approx 90g)
1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
1 cup Water
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, sauté the chopped onion in a splash of water (or a minimal amount of your preferred cooking spray) over medium heat until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the rinsed lentils, chopped tomato, turmeric, and cumin. Pour in the water and light coconut milk.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the dal has thickened.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the dal from heat and gently stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture. Taste and adjust spices if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with extra yogurt or fresh herbs if desired.
