INGREDIENTS
80 grams red lentils
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 medium yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
1 teaspoon coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
A pinch of black pepper
Salt to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and garlic, and grate the fresh ginger.
Heat the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and ginger and cook for an additional minute.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and a pinch of black pepper. Let the spices bloom for about 1 minute.
Add the rinsed red lentils and about 1.5 cups of water (or vegetable broth for extra flavor). Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the dal to cool slightly before stirring in the nonfat Greek yogurt, creating a creamy texture.
Season with salt to taste, adjust spices if needed, and serve warm.
