easy lentil dahl

Indian Dal (also spelled Dhal or Daal) is a delicious plant-based, yet high protein meal. Warm, comforting, and aromatic, this lightened up red lentil dal contains all of your favorite Indian flavors, minus the oil and fat. Healthy and vegan friendly!

Red Lentil Dahl (aka Masoor Dal)

tsp extra virgin olive oil

dry red lentils

red onion

celery

garlic

tsp grated ginger

curry powder

tsp coriander

½ tsp garam masala

salt

⅛ tsp crushed red pepper

vegetable stock

tomatoes

coconut milk

cilantro

Mix the ginger garlic, curry powder, coriander, garam masala and crushed red pepper in small bowl and set aside.

Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add your oil, onions and celery and cook on medium high heat for about 2 minutes until vegetables are fragrant and translucent. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Turn down heat and add the ginger, garlic and spice mix and cook on low heat for about 1 minute, allowing the spices to “bloom” until they become fragrant. Add the lentils, vegetable stock, salt, diced tomatoes and coconut milk.

Bring up to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook with a lid on for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until lentils are soft. If your heat is up too high, the liquid will evaporate before the lentils are done cooking. If that happens, just add a little bit more stock (or water, if you are using that) and continue to cook. When lentil are soft, turn off your heat and  add in your chopped cilantro. Adding cilantro at the end will keep the flavor lively and fresh.

Serve as a soup, or over brown rice with some steamed veggies, or with naan or roti! I chose to have ours as a "stew" over brown rice.
