INGREDIENTS
120 grams Red Lentils
80 grams Light Coconut Milk
120 grams Diced Tomatoes
25 grams Yellow Onion
1 Garlic Clove
0.5 tsp Turmeric Powder
0.5 tsp Fresh Ginger (grated)
0.5 tsp Cumin Seeds
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water or a minimal amount of oil if desired, then add finely chopped yellow onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion softens.
Add the turmeric powder, grated ginger, and cumin seeds to the onions and garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds to release their aromas.
Mix in the red lentils, diced tomatoes, and light coconut milk. Pour in enough water (about 1 to 1.5 cups) to cover the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and the dal reaches a creamy consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency with a little extra water if needed.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, protein-rich dal that fits perfectly within your nutritional goals.
