INGREDIENTS
120 grams dry Red Lentils
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/2 medium Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 tsp Ground Turmeric
1/4 tsp Red Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 cups Water
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.
Finely dice the half onion, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the fresh ginger.
In a medium saucepan, heat a splash of water (or a light cooking spray if preferred) over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the rinsed red lentils, diced tomatoes, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and red chili powder. Mix well to coat the lentils with the spices.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the light coconut milk, and season with salt. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
