Red Lentil Dahl

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 diced onion

• 3 crushed cloves of garlic

• 1 tbsp ginger powder

• 1 tbsp garam masala powder

• 1 tsp curry powder

• 1.5 cups whole or split red lentils rinsed

• 1 can tomatoes

• 1 400g can coconut milk

• 3 cups broth or stock

• Salt + pepper

• 6 x frozen spinach cubes

Method

Heat a pan on medium. Cook the olive oil with the onion and garlic until it is translucent. Add the spices and a splash of water, stir for 1 minute until fragrant. Now add all the other ingredients and bring to boil. Once boiling (might take 5 minutes) reduce to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes or until the lentils are cooked through.

*If using whole red lentils please soak for 2 hours prior to cooking, discard that water and rinse until the water is clear.
