See our recipe for the delightful Indian dahl. It is a flavorful and vegetarian stew based on red lentils.
Ingredients
- 3 pcs. Carrots Large
- 2 pcs. Onion Large
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 pcs. Apples
- 2.7 gram Chili Powder Sambal oelek
- 6 gram Cumin
- 1 gram Cilantro Dried
- 1 can Chopped Tomatoes
- 1 can Coconut Milk Preferably Light
- 320 gram Lentils Red and dried
- 200 gram Water
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- 1.8 gram Ginger Ground or fresh (grated). Can be omitted
- 13.6 gram Oil Neutral in flavor. For frying
Instructions
- Chop the vegetables finely, e.g., in a mini chopper or grate them.
- Heat oil in a large pot and sauté the vegetables and spices.
- Add chopped tomatoes and coconut milk and reduce to medium heat.
- Rinse the lentils and add them to the dish along with water, ensuring the liquid covers the lentils. Add more water during cooking if the lentils absorb all the liquid.
- Let it all simmer for at least 20 minutes – this is important because lentils need to cook for at least 20 minutes before they can be eaten.
- Stir the dish occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
- Finally, season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with cooked rice, whole grain couscous, a good piece of bread, or enjoy it as it is with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkle of spring onions.
Notes
Tip: The dish can also be made with chicken breast cut into pieces. Add the chicken in step 2.
