INGREDIENTS
60g red lentils
82g cooked chickpeas
100ml light coconut milk
120g nonfat Greek yogurt
80g onion, diced
1 clove garlic
1 tsp ginger
80g diced tomatoes
30g fresh spinach
Spice mix (cumin, turmeric, coriander, red chili powder)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and drain.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until softened.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant.
Stir in the red lentils along with the spice mix, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Pour in the light coconut milk and 1 cup of water, then add the diced tomatoes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 20 minutes until the lentils are tender, stirring occasionally.
Fold in the cooked chickpeas and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt.
Remove the dal from heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt and lemon juice for extra creaminess and tang.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and let the flavors meld for a couple of minutes before serving.
