The only dal I make now
One pot, pantry ingredients, done in 40 minutes. Freezes perfectly.
Ingredients
- 300g red lentils, rinsed
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tin coconut milk
- 700ml water or stock
- Butter or ghee for the finish
Method
- Soften the onion in oil, then add garlic and ginger for two minutes.
- Add the dry spices and stir for 30 seconds until they smell like something.
- Add lentils, coconut milk and water. Simmer 25 minutes, stirring now and then.
- Whisk it hard at the end — it goes from grainy to silky in about 20 seconds.
- Finish with a knob of butter and a lot of salt.
