Lentil Dal with Steamed Rice and Cucumber Salad
Red lentils simmered with turmeric and garlic, served with fluffy basmati rice and a refreshing cucumber salad finished with a squeeze of zesty lemon.
INGREDIENTS
0.3 cup Red Lentils
0.5 cup Cooked Basmati Rice
0.75 cup Diced Cucumber
0.3 cup Diced Tomato
0.75 teaspoon Ghee
1 clove Garlic
0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
0.25 teaspoon Cumin seeds
0.5 tablespoon Lemon juice
PREPARATION
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Place lentils in a pot with 1.5 cups of water, turmeric, and a pinch of salt, then simmer for 15-20 minutes until soft and creamy.
While the lentils cook, dice the cucumber and tomato and toss them with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to create the salad.
In a small skillet, heat the ghee over medium heat and add cumin seeds until they begin to sizzle and pop.
Add minced garlic to the ghee and sauté for 30 seconds until golden and fragrant, then pour this mixture directly into the cooked dal.
Stir the dal well and serve warm over the steamed basmati rice with the chilled cucumber salad on the side.
