Red Lentil Dahl
A wonderful comfort food that takes no more than 30 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 250 gr. tomato sauce
- 1 cup light coconut milk
- 3/4 tsp cumin
- ginger
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp chilli
- 100 gr. red lentils
- 300 ml warm water
- 120 gr. brown rice
Instructions
- Start by heating the olive oil in a non-stick pan.
- Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes with the cumin. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric and chili and sauté for 1 more minute.
- Add the lentils, coconut milk, tomato sauce, a little salt and water.
- Stir, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 25 minutes. Stir occasionally. If the water runs out, add a little more.
- Meanwhile, in a pot of salted water, boil your rice according to the instructions on the package. Personally, I prefer pre-cooked brown rice that boils in 10 minutes.
- Serve the red lentil dahl with your rice and enjoy your meal hot.
