Dahl that's not Dull Recipe
A blend of spices stirred into a steaming pot of red lentils finished with coconut milk, to make the most amazing soup
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups red lentils
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 onion- finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic-minced
- 1 large piece of ginger- peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds- toasted and ground
- 2 tbsp coriander seeds- toasted and ground
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp turmeric
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
Directions
- In a large pot rinse and drain the lentils several times, until the water runs clear.
- Cover with water and bring to a boil, cook until lentils fall apart. You will have to skim off the foam several times, I find using a ladle works the best.
- Heat a saute pan and add oil.
- Add onion, garlic and ginger, saute on low heat for at least 10 minutes.
- On medium/high heat, in a small frying pan add the cumin seeds and coriander seeds, toast until they change to a darker colour or you can smell them. Grind in a coffee grinder if you have one, I don't so I use a mortar and pestle. Add to the onion along with the rest of the spices, cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the onion and spice mixture to the skimmed off pot of lentils.
- Season with vinegar,syrup,salt and pepper. Finish with coconut milk.
