Creamy Coconut Red Lentil Dal
Savor a warm, comforting bowl of creamy coconut red lentil dal infused with aromatic spices and a hint of tangy tomatoes. This hearty dal balances the creaminess of light coconut milk with the natural earthiness of red lentils, finished with a delicate tempering of coconut oil and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for an extra savory boost.
INGREDIENTS
100g Red Lentils
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1/4 medium Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, grated
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until water runs clear.
Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until the onion softens.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder, allowing the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed lentils, diced tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Pour in the light coconut milk and stir well to incorporate all flavors.
Simmer the dal on medium-low heat for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the mixture thickens.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in the nutritional yeast for an umami boost.
Adjust consistency with additional broth or water if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs if available, and serve warm.
