INGREDIENTS
75 grams red lentils
1/3 cup light coconut milk
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 medium onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cool water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger and sauté until the onion softens.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander powders, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk to the pan. Pour in about 1 cup of water and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the dal has thickened.
Remove the dal from the heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to achieve a creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your comforting bowl of Creamy Coconut Red Lentil Dal.
