Ingredients
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Lentils: Stir in the rinsed lentils, turmeric, cumin, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
- Incorporate Coconut Milk: Once the lentils are cooked, stir in the coconut milk and chopped spinach. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the flavors meld.
- Season: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Ladle the dal into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy warm, paired with rice or naan.
