Easy Lentil Dahl

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 onion, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp ginger, minced
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 ½ cups red lentils
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 3 cups water or vegetable stock
• ½ cup EasiYo Plain 2% Yogurt
• 1-2 tsp black sesame seeds (optional)
• 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Method

1. Heat oil in a large pot on a medium heat. Cook onions, garlic and ginger until soft.
2. Add spices and salt and cook for a further 1 minute, or until fragrant.
3. Rinse lentils under cold water, drain and add to pan. Stir lentils to coat with spiced onion mixture. Add tomatoes and water/stock and mix well.
4. Leave uncovered and cook over a low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are cooked through.
5. Remove from the heat and add a few spoonful’s of the dahl to a bowl. Whisk in yogurt and then combine mixture to the remaining dahl until fully combined; this will ensure the yogurt does not separate.
