Creamy Spiced Red Lentil Dal
A warming, comforting red lentil dal simmered with aromatic spices and blended with a touch of light coconut milk, bright tomato, and fresh spinach. Finished with a dollop of creamy nonfat Greek yogurt, this dish perfectly balances hearty protein with a blend of tangy and savory flavors.
INGREDIENTS
100g Red Lentils (Dry)
50ml Light Coconut Milk
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 tsp Fresh Ginger, Grated
1 medium Tomato, Diced
1 cup Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
50g Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Spices: Cumin, Turmeric, Paprika, and Garam Masala
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water until water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until softened.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the onions and sauté for an additional minute to release their aromas.
Stir in the spices (a pinch each of cumin, turmeric, paprika, and garam masala) and toast them lightly for about 30 seconds.
Add the rinsed red lentils along with 250 ml of water (or vegetable broth for extra flavor) and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Mix in the diced tomato and allow the lentils to cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in the light coconut milk and spinach, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Serve the dal warm in a bowl, topped with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt for creaminess and extra protein.
