Spinach Dahl

Number of servings: 4
Estimated Prep Time: 25 minutes
Estimated Cooking Time: 50 minutes

Instead of 1 tsp fresh ginger you can use 1/2 tsp ground ginger.

You can use frozen spinach instead. If you do, thaw it first and drain.


Ingredients

1 cup Red Lentils
1 teaspoon Turmeric
3 tablespoons Oil
1 Onion (small, chopped)
2 cloves Garlic (chopped)
1 teaspoon Cumin (ground)
1 teaspoon Coriander (ground)
2 Tomatoes (chopped)
1/2 pound Spinach
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
Salt
Ground Pepper
1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, chopped)





Directions



In a saucepan, cover the lentils and the turmeric with 3 cups (1 1/2 pints / 750 ml) of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 30 minutes until the lentils have broken down and the mixture is thick and gloopy. If extra water is needed because it dried out too fast, add some.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently cook the onion, garlic and ginger until soft. Add the rest of the spices and the tomato and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add the spinach, cover and cook until the spinach wilts, then uncover and cook until the liquid evaporates.

Mix the lentils into the spinach mixture and heat through for a few minutes, then add seasoning and lemon juice.

Serve hot.
