Make Your Own Lentil Dhal

Hi everyone,

Lenka here 🙂

I’d love to share an easy recipe with you. It might be your first step in becoming more plant based (vegan).

It takes only 20 – 30 min.

LENTIL DHAL

What you need:

• 1 onion, finely diced
• 2 cups of red lentil
• ½ cup coconut milk
• Coconut milk, mixed seeds and fresh parsley leaves, to garnish
• 2 cups hot water
• 1 inch ginger piece, peeled and grated
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• ½ tsp garam masala
• ½ tsp sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

How to make it:

• Rinse the red lentils with cold water and let drain.
• In a medium saucepan heat the coconut oil, add the onion, garlic, ginger and turmeric, and cook for two minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the lentils and water, bring to boil and let simmer for 15 minutes.
• Add garam masala and coconut milk and mix to combine.
• Let simmer for another five minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed and you obtain a porridge consistency.
• Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley leaves, mixed seeds and a few drops of coconut milk.

Enjoy!
