Ingredients
Daal:
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 white onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
400 g dry red lentils
1 tin coconut milk
6 cups water
½ tsp salt
For serving:
Rice
Crushed peanuts
Cilantro
Lime juice
Method
STEP 1
Heat your coconut oil in a pot over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion and cook until softened (around 5 minutes). Add in tomato paste and cook to caramelise for 2-3 more minutes (until darker in colour and thicker).
STEP 2
Add garam masala, coriander, cumin and turmeric along with ¼ cup water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, and then stir the lentils in.
STEP 3
Add in the tin of coconut milk as well as 6 cups of water and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes (depending on your lentils) until most of the liquid is absorbed and the dal looks creamy.
STEP 4
Remove the daal from heat, taste for salt and season to taste. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
STEP 5
Serve daal with rice, crushed peanuts, coriander and a squeeze of lime juice.
