I LOVE CURRY! And, I have been wanting to adapt this “meatless Monday” thing, and I’ve had this bag of lentils for them longest time. We’ve been watching a lot of Masterchef, and on this last season, there was an man who cooked a lot of Indian cuisine, and he inspired me to want to try to make my own dahl. Well I did, and it did not disappoint. I found a pretty basic recipe, and I tweaked it to my own palate. I almost added some cherry tomatoes at the end of the curry cooking, but I forgot. But I think it would a nice pop of color and flavor. And this dish is vegan - if you opt to use veg stock. SO SO GOOD. We eat over cardamom spiced basmati.

1 bag dry lentils

2 large finely diced carrot (could sub sweet potato, butternut squash, or add bell peppers in addition)

1 large onion chopped small

4 cloves of garlic minced

1 heaped tbsp fresh ginger minced

1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

3 to 3.5 cups vegetable (or chicken) broth (depending on consistency of curry you prefer)

1 cup canned coconut milk (*see recipe notes)

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1.5 tsp garam masala

1 tsp cardamom

1 tsp ground turmeric

1 tsp paprika

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

.5 tsp red pepper flakes optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

Rinse lentils under running water until they run clear. Chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and carrot.

Heat oil in a pot and sauté onion for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Throw in all the spices and let toast for a few minutes with the sweated onions until very fragrant and happy.

Add the ginger, carrot and then garlic last. Sauté until the ingredients become aromatic. (Sometimes I add a little fennel & leek)

Add the lentils and 3 cups of broth. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Add more liquid if needed.

Finally, add coconut milk and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the desired thickness of the dahl is reached. The lentils should be tender, but not mushy.

Season with black pepper and salt.

Serve with cilantro. Enjoy!
