Method

0 of 8 done
  1. Finely chop half an onion and mince 1 garlic clove. Grate 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in 70 grams of red lentils, ensuring they are well coated with the onion and spices.
  4. Add 0.25 teaspoon each of ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, and chilli powder. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  5. Pour in 100 milliliters of coconut milk and 200 milliliters of vegetable stock. Stir well, add 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a simmer.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are soft and the dal has thickened, about 20 minutes.
  7. Once the dal is cooked to your desired consistency, remove the lid and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt if necessary.
  8. Serve hot, garnishing with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped coriander.
