Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams red lentils
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 400 grams crushed tomatoes
- 200 milliliters coconut milk
- 500 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 small bunch fresh cilantro
Instructions
Rinse the red lentils thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear and set them aside.
Chop the yellow onion finely. Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and garam masala to the pot, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the spices.
Add the rinsed red lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to ensure everything is well combined.
Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 20 minutes or until the red lentils are tender and the dal has thickened.
Stir the dal occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the dal just before serving.
Serve the Whole30 Rote Linsen-Dal warm, with a side of cauliflower rice or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
