INGREDIENTS
110 grams Red Lentils
1/4 cup Light Coconut Milk
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup chopped Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 medium Tomato, diced
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Spice Blend (turmeric, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, then add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red lentils along with the spice blend (use about 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon coriander, a pinch of cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste). Sauté for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices lightly.
Add diced tomato, light coconut milk, and enough water (about 1 to 1.5 cups) to cover the lentils. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat and let the dal simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender and the liquid has slightly reduced. Stir occasionally.
Once the lentils are cooked to your desired consistency, remove the pot from heat and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt for creaminess.
Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the dal warm, enjoying its hearty texture and vibrant spices.
